This program will enable students to study nuclear medicine theory, nuclear medicine instrumentation and radiopharmacy, reinforced by anatomy, physiology, psychology, patient care and research. Nuclear medicine uses a mix of sophisticated medical imaging technology such as PET, scintigraphy, SPECT, hybrid PET/CT, people skills and radioactive chemical compounds (radiopharmaceuticals) to image and/or treat a wide variety of injuries or diseases ranging from elite athletes with sports injuries, to cardiac and brain studies, to cancer patients. Students complete supervised clinical practice in a variety of settings both locally and nationally as part of the program. Centres can include major teaching hospitals, small rural hospitals and private practices.
