The PET Program exceedingly prepared me for taking the PET specialty board exam. Mayo Clinic has one of the largest PET departments in the nation, which provided me with opportunities to perform a variety of procedures, use advanced equipment, experience unique cases, and be involved with several innovative techniques. Overall, the program was a positive experience, and it empowered me to grow professionally by expanding my knowledge in nuclear medicine and developing competency in PET imaging.

My favorite part of the PET Program was working with multiple PET radiopharmaceuticals. Since we have both clinical and research scanners in our PET imaging department, we were able to inject patients every day with tracers - an experience that most students only learn about in textbooks. Also, due to our large patient volume, I was able to gain a multitude of clinical experiences over the course of the program that gave me a great jump start into my career as a PET technologist.
