Our three-year training program requires an internship year as a prerequisite to residency training. It meets all requirements of the American Board of Nuclear Medicine in nuclear medicine. Our program currently has six residents and we recruit 2 residents/year.
Curriculum
We strive to provide you, our residents, with the knowledge and skills required for any of the increasing opportunities in nuclear medicine, including university research positions, clinical subspecialty practices, and general nuclear medicine practice in a community setting.
To achieve this goal, we use a combination of didactic lectures and interactive resident conferences. We offer a comprehensive orientation lecture series for our new residents and provide an extensive resident conference schedule, typically conducting two or three conferences daily.
As a resident, you will rorate through general nuclear medicine, nuclear cardiology, positron emission tomography, body computed tomography, and the radionuclide laboratory. During early training, we emphasize the basic sciences and fundamentals of nuclear medicine. As your residency training progresses you increase your knowledge and skill, you will become more involved in the decision-making process and performing procedures.
