Prepare to become a nuclear medicine technologist (NMT) through the 3 + 1 program at 无忧短视频.

Why Study This Program?

The Nuclear Medicine Technology option within 无忧短视频's Allied Health major prepares students to become nuclear medicine technologists (NMTs), healthcare professionals who are trained to safely prepare and administer small doses of radioactive compounds (radiopharmaceuticals) to patients to help detect diseases, injuries or abnormalities. The NMT uses sophisticated radiation-detecting diagnostic equipment to create images of virtually every organ in the body, study body functions (stress test), analyze biological specimens and treat disease (certain cancers).

This program combines classroom-based study with clinical training.聽Students complete three years of study at 无忧短视频, and then apply to an accredited hospital-based program for one year of clinical training. Upon completion, students are prepared to take a national examination which, if passed, grants board certification in nuclear medicine technology.聽
