Key Summary

    About: The Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Medicine Technology is offered as an accelerated program designed for students seeking to efficiently enter the field of nuclear medicine. This program focuses on the use of radioactive materials for diagnosis and treatment, equipping students with the necessary skills and knowledge to work in various medical settings.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles such as nuclear medicine technologists, imaging specialists, or professionals in radiology departments. They may work in hospitals, outpatient facilities, or research institutions focusing on diagnostic imaging and treatment through nuclear medicine.

Introduction

As a nuclear medicine technologist, you have the power to capture not only how organs and tissues look, but also how they work. In this program, you'll learn to safely and compassionately administer radioactive drugs, or radiopharmaceuticals, to patients and obtain rapid-succession images where they concentrate in the body so that you can assist physicians in detecting, and even treating, certain medical conditions.

During the third year, the professional phase of the program, you'll follow a synchronous distance/online class schedule, which means that you will log and call in during specific class times. This schedule offers you the flexibility of online education. You'll participate in clinical experiences at sites predetermined by your specific location, where you'll work alongside industry experts and gain firsthand knowledge of what it's like to be a nuclear medicine technologist.

The accelerated time frame of 36 months gives you the benefit of an immersive education while preparing you for your career faster. When you graduate, you'll be eligible to sit for registration by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board. And you'll be fully prepared to become a leader.
