Clinical training

The 12 months of training includes the following rotations:

• General nuclear medicine (including gamma imaging, plantar scintigraphy, and SPECT/CT)
• Radionuclide therapy (including radio-iodine ablation therapy for hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, Radium-233 therapy on prostate cancer, Y-90 and Lu177 PRRT therapies on neuroendocrine tumors, and Lu177 Pluvicto therapy for castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer)
• PET/CT and PET/MRI practice using clinical and investigational PET tracers
• Nuclear cardiology: SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging and cardiac PET/CT

Elective opportunities

You are given up to four-week blocks of elective time that can be spent at the cyclotron facility and dedicated research time for academic endeavors. 

Conferences

During the Nuclear Medicine Fellowship, you will participate in the following recurring conferences:

• Interdisciplinary tumor conference 
• Nuclear medicine journal club
• Nuclear medicine didactic conferences

In addition, you can participate in multiple conferences offered by the other radiology subspecialty areas.
