Our program is a one-year ACGME accredited fellowship.  Our fellow has an exceptional exposure to both a high quality and quantity of learning material. Our patient population has an excellent balance of tertiary referral, private insurance, indigent care, and transplant-related services.   This diversity of patients is one of the factors that sets our fellowship apart from many others. 

Our clinical training in nuclear medicine provides for progressive, supervised responsibility for patient care and ensures that the supervised fellow performs those procedures commonly accepted in all aspects of clinical nuclear radiology and PET-CT.  Our fellow rotates through general nuclear radiology and PET-CT, and is evaluated on a monthly basis at the end of each rotation.  One month is dedicated to research, with the fellow expected to complete at least one project suitable for presentation at a national meeting and/or publication in a peer-refereed journal by the end of the training year.

We have instituted a requirement in the nuclear medicine Section for “hands-on” training of fellow and residents in technical aspects of nuclear medicine, including radiation safety and safe handling of radioisotopes.  Trainees will go to the GE Healthcare nuclear pharmacy and perform NRC requirements for nuclear material handling. The fellow will also go to PET-NET to observe production of F-18 and synthesis of F-18 FDG.

Below is the number of weeks the fellow spends in each rotation during their one-year of training.
