About the Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Medicine Program at Loma Linda University:
Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses radioactive tracers (radiopharmaceuticals) to access bodily functions and to diagnose and treat disease. The skills of the nuclear medicine technologist complement those of the nuclear medicine physician and other allied health professionals. The student technologist learns about patient care, radiation physics and safety, preparation and administration of radiopharmaceuticals and diagnostic imaging procedures. Additionally, students learn about radiation detection equipment, computerized imaging cameras, and research procedures.

This is inspiring! I’ve really felt drawn into the medical field after watching the Resident
if we didnt have magnetic resonance imageing than doctors would have to cut us open.magnetic resonace imageing is a true blessing
It would be interesting to watch recent graduate profiles, including how many students are able to get a full time job with benefits. The profile of the techs in the video appear to be a bit older. This makes me wonder if newer students are even able to get jobs. In my experience the market has been super saturated for over a decade, more specifically since around 2005. Some local nuclear medicine programs are closing due the oversupply of technologists compared to the limited supply of jobs. I’ve been lucky to have had a nuclear medicine job without any interruption, but this has been more the exception than the norm. Most jobs that I have seen are prn work, meaning no benefits. If students are interested in this program I would implore you to look in the specific geographic area in which you are interested in working, and then look for full time openings and judge whether or not going into nuclear medicine is worth it for you vs the debt you incur.
Thanks for your comment. If you would like more information on Nuclear Medicine, please contact rjho@llu.edu.
@@LLUHealth I’m a nuclear tech, I’ve been a nuclear tech since 2006
This helps more than school
The music in the background is absolutely gorgeous. I am going to have to watch this video a second time now so I can listen to what people were saying. Can you please tell me the name and artist?
i am a newly graduated medical student, & love physics and technology so much and really looking forward to become a nuclear medicine specialist too :D
+Kevin OConnor if this following question is too personal you may decline to respond. but i was wondering how much you make as a nuk med tech? thanks!
negisensei189 Did you become it?
negisensei189 how do you like it?
Where are you now in life?? Did you become one?
@Rich 91 doctors do become specialists... But someone who goes to medical school becomes a MD or DO. Not a Technologist, which usually just goes to a college or school of allied health.
Physics diagnostics and pain management are important. Fusion imaging sounds like seamless integration.
Interesting❤
Dr Wilson and I worked to secure documents for nuclear medicine . Communications science allows you to work with a range of practitioners.
I'm interested in this field along with biomedical engineering technician. I plan to get an associates in both biomedical engineering technology and nuclear medicine then get my bachelor's in biomedical engineering. is nuclear medicine technologist a stressful job?
Thermal imaging and radiography tell the story to the anatomy series important data and intel for identifying a plan of actionable measures To applying BEST solutions
i need career guidance after MBBS , is MSC Radiation and Medical oncology or MSC nuclear medicine is good option , what are career field where can i work in Pakistan or abroad , is this field is rewarding and what is the scope of this fields , kindly provide following info in term of living in Pakistan after completing this and also if i want to migrate to Abroad after this .
Hello I have done Bsc. (Honours in Chemistry),
Now I am gonna do joint Msc-Phd in Nuclear medicine from a premier Institute.
Will I get a good job and what's the scope?
Is there any other degree I must get with these?
I’m happy I was saved from an accidental overdose 😔 but is nuclear medicine used on someone who overdosed on a muscle relaxer and the ambulance are informed of what I took like exactly what I took
whats the future like for NMT graduates - would it increase in ten years?
How many years would it take to be a nuclear medicine physician? And, are nuclear medicine physicians able to give radiation therapy or is that limited to radiation oncologists?
Please contact Terri Mosley at tmosley@llu.edu more information on the career and degree.
Me too
hello i am doing my mbbs in india i am interested in nuclear med what do you think is the scope in India ?
Hiii
I am too from India and I am also interested in nuclear med technologist
Can u tell me the procedure to become a nuclear med technologist and currently I am in 12th STD
What's the process like converting from a radiologic technologist to a nuclear medicine tech?
For more information please contact the program coordinator, Terri Mosley at tmosley@llu.edu.
I'm a clinical laboratory scientist should I choose nuclear medicine right after bachelor???
For more information please contact the program coordinator, Terri Mosley at tmosley@llu.edu.
Can I ask what courses to take when you want to be a Nuclear Medicine Technologist? I only know some like Nuclear Physics, Anatomy, Radiochemistry. But I need to know some
We're excited about your interest in becoming a Nuclear Medicine Technologist. Please contact our Department of Radiation Technology in the School of Allied Health Professions for more information at 909-558-4931.
Nuclear medicine is a medical technology specialization ? please answer me
In Australia it's most commonly a major (or I suppose, specialisation) in the bachelor of medical radiation sciences, e.g. Bachelor of medical radiation sciences (nuclear medicine). So no, it's a specialisation in medical radiation sciences, not in medical technology. Other majors include medical imaging and radiation therapy, as far as I know. Nuclear medicine technologists aren't the "top" of their food chain, normally there's a specialist medical practitioner telling you what tasks they want you to perform for a particular patient in order for them to thoroughly assess the patient afterwards.
okay thanks ;p
I'm a senior in high school this year with interest in becoming a Nuclear Medicine Physician, I already know the requirements from where I am to college, and medical school, but I don't know how to specialize in nuclear medicine if anyone can help me understand this process more clearly I would be most grateful.
Various institutions can offer different specialisations. In Australia, one of our universities offers a 4 year course called 'Medical Radiation Science (with specialisations)'. You'll need to read the online handbook of the course and see if they mention the possibility to specialise in Nuclear Medicine. Additionally, you can contact the college's general enquiry number and ask them.
After residency (I think in radiology) , you can choose to become a fellow in nuclear medicine
what is the job name for this?medical physicist ?
Nuclear Medicine Technologist
Does this course require biology?
+Habibty Sheikha :most likely its medicine
Yes it does
Yeah but what exactly is nuclear medicine??
