Nuclear medicine technologists utilize radioactive substances to generate molecular and functional images for diagnosing conditions and treating various cancers. They are employed in diverse environments such as hospitals, imaging and research facilities, commercial radiopharmacies, and nuclear research reactors. These procedures aid in disease diagnosis, treatment, and personalizing patient care plans. The NM curriculum consists of two years of prerequisite studies followed by two years of specialized professional training. Upon completion, students earn a Bachelor of Health Science degree in Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences with a concentration in Nuclear Medicine. Program graduates qualify to take certification exams offered by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. This educational program maintains accreditation from the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology.
