Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Medicine Technology (STEM)

Program Overview

Nuclear medicine technologists help doctors diagnose diseases and in a safe, painless way by using advanced imaging methods to examine the function of internal organs. Organ imaging procedures lead to earlier diagnoses and better patient outcomes.

Why Choose Nuclear Medicine Technology?
If you have an interest in science and a desire to help people, nuclear medicine technology may be the right field for you. Every day, nuclear imaging procedures make a difference in the lives of patients by helping detect, diagnose, treat and monitor disease.

What Will You Learn?
You will learn about human organs and systems, and mechanisms of disease, and how radiopharmecuticals can help us visualize certain disease. All courses are human-centered to prepare you to interact with and comfort patients.

During the course of the program, you will accumulate 10 credits during your clinical internships working in a nuclear medicine department. In total this amounts to 180 full work days during which time you will learn to:

  • Prepare the radiopharmaceutical
  • Administer the injection
  • Observe radiation safety and protection procedures
  • Perform quality-control tests
  • Prepare the patient and imaging instrumentation for specific imaging procedures
  • Process the acquired data
