Why study Advanced Medical Imaging Technology : Nuclear Medicine?

The Advanced Medical Imaging Technology (AMIT) Nuclear Medicine Technology certificate program provides an avenue for post-baccalaureate students who are unable to pursue a second baccalaureate or an advanced degree.

Nuclear medicine technology is a branch of medicine that deals with the use of radioactive substances in research, diagnosis, and treatment.

The program is 12 consecutive months in duration.  Through a combination of classroom, online learning, and clinical instruction, students will be taught the specific skills needed for entry-level positions in Nuclear Medicine Technology. You may also choose to study the second modality (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) for an additional 12 month curriculum.

Upon completion of the professional curriculum, certificate students are eligible to sit for national board exams, a necessity in nearly all healthcare fields. It is our goal to supply you with the necessary level of training and experience to adequately prepare for these examinations.

Career Possibilities

Advanced Medical Imaging Technology – Nuclear Medicine Technology program graduates are employed in hospitals, medical centers, outpatient clinics, and research facilities. Advancement in this field may involve promotion to supervisory and administrative positions, equipment and pharmaceutical sales, product support, and teaching.

Most full-time Nuclear Medicine Technologists work about 40 hours a week. They may, however, have evening, weekend or on-call hours. Opportunities for part-time and shift work also are available.

Although Nuclear Medicine Technologists use radiation as part of their occupation, radiation hazards are minimized by the use of shielding and the application of radiation safety practices. All individuals working with radiation are monitored continuously for radiation exposure.
