Nuclear Medicine Technology Program
Program Information The Program is a full-time, hospital-based program offering a certificate of completion after meeting all academic achievement and clinical requirements. The Program lasts 20 months, beginning annually in August. Classroom and clinical hours range from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students are required to rotate through a nuclear medicine pharmacy and several clinical sites within the Baylor Health Care System, located throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Upon successful completion of the program, students are eligible to take the examinations offered by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) and American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). After passing this exam, graduates will be certified as Nuclear Medicine Technologists.

Guidelines for Acceptance The Program reviews each completed application and selects the best qualified applicants annually. Because the program size is limited to those selected each year, applicants should adhere closely to all requirements and instructions in the application packet. It is imperative that applicants meet all admission requirements and deadline dates. Upon receipt of each application packet, the program will initiate the investigative background check for the applicant. Any negative findings will be forwarded to the Baylor Health Care System Human Resources for review. Applicants will be notified immediately if they did not pass the investigative background check. The program will notify the applicant by USPS and include a copy of the investigative repot. Students are selected on a point system. Points are given based upon the prerequisite grades, healthcare experience, statements of recommendations, personal narrative and the interview. When making decisions related to applicants, the Selection Committee adheres to a policy of non-discrimination on the basis of age, creed, color, physical challenges, gender, marital status, national origin, religion or race.
