We are proud to offer a unique and comprehensive one year fellowship in nuclear radiology starting in July 2022. Our program offers the right candidate the ability to take full advantage of the state-of-the-art nuclear medicine infrastructure at a regional and nationally recognized institution. The aim of our one-year fellowship is to provide a solid experience in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear radiology/molecular imaging to prepare you for a career in academic or private setting.

The radiology department at Mayo Clinic in Florida strongly supports the Mayo institutional three-shield model of patient care, education, and research. Our fellowship program follows in the footsteps of a well-established diagnostic radiology program and several radiology subspeciality fellowships. We offer a 5:1 NM faculty to fellow ratio, with diverse background and experience across the breadth of nuclear radiology. Additionally, there is substantial additional support in radiology, physics, and radiochemistry, well-suited to support all your education needs.

I believe that a work environment should be supportive, our best work is done as a team, and the well-being of the physicians is as crucial as that of our patient. We are excited to teach as well as practice alongside our trainees and we look forward to hearing from you.
