Nuclear Medicine Technology Certificate
|
|
Certificate: 41 Hours
Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses radioactive tracers (radiopharmaceuticals) to assess bodily functions and to diagnose and treat disease. The nuclear medicine technologist prepares and administers radiopharmaceuticals to patients, positions them for images and operates the cameras and computers to produce the images and analyze the data for diagnostic interpretation.
The nuclear medicine program is a selective admission program. A separate application process is required for acceptance into this program. The Nuclear Medicine Technology (NMT) certificate program is intended for students who possess an associate or bachelor’s degree in any field. Students with degrees outside of healthcare-related disciplines may need to complete additional science courses to apply. Upon acceptance, the students may take the “program-specific courses.” Graduates receive a Certificate of Achievement designed to prepare them for the national certification exam of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists in Nuclear Medicine.
A grade of “C” or better is required for nuclear medicine program required courses.
