Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine uses trace amounts of radioactive-labeled compounds to diagnose and sometimes treat a variety of conditions and diseases. This discipline is at the frontier of discovering and understanding the complex physiologic processes of human bodies. As a result, it has an enormous impact on every field of medicine from cardiology to neurology, orthopedics to oncology.
Career opportunities include clinical positions such as staff technologist, supervisor and radiology manager, and jobs in education and research. Technologists may also branch into radiopharmacology or the development, application and sales of nuclear medicine equipment.
Consider this program if you:
- Are interested in science, computers and working closely with people
- Enjoy physics, chemistry, anatomy and physiology
This is a four-year degree with two years of prerequisites and two years in the professional program.
