NUCLEAR MEDICINE TECHNOLOGY

 
NUCLEAR MEDICINE TECHNOLOGY
Center Campus

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:  View Selective Admission for detailed information.

The nuclear medicine curriculum is designed to prepare students for board certification as registered nuclear medicine technologists [CNMT and/or RT(N)]. Nuclear Medicine and Arts and Sciences courses are reinforced by directed clinical experiences.

Additional expenses to be met by the student are (1) a health history and physical examination including testing for tuberculosis and other communicable diseases, (2) uniforms, (3) lab and general supplies and (4) hospitalization insurance as neither the hospital nor the college insures the student against accidents or illnesses.

The Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists may deny certification to an applicant who has been convicted of a crime or is addicted to drugs or alcohol. Additionally students must have a criminal background check performed before they are admitted to the Program.

The Associate of Applied Science degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology program is seeking accreditation by the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology, 2000 W. Danforth Rd., Ste 130 #203 Edmond OK 73003. The JRCNMT’s phone number is 405.285.0546.
