Study Abroad Elective In the spring semester, all NMT students will be eligible to apply to take the study abroad elective--RADI-R 499 Global Experiences in Nuclear Medicine. In this one credit hour course, students will journey to an international location to explore the ways in which nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are performed. Radiopharmaceuticals, procedures and technology not used or performed in the United States will be the focus of this course. Students will have the opportunity to visit hospitals and clinics in other countries and both experience how nuclear medicine is performed, as well as gain an understanding on how health care in the host country works compared to the United States. Guest lecturers from the visited country will present on various topics, including nuclear medicine procedures, patient care and healthcare policies. Each spring a different location will be chosen for a unique esperience. This course is eligible for repeat credit so students may take this course their junior and senior years.
Awards The faculty will recommend to the university, graduating students with superior academic performance for degrees awarded with distinction according to the university's policy. Also, students with outstanding academic and clinical achievement during their professional program may be recognized by the program at the time of graduation.
Graduation Requirements Satisfactory completion of a minimum of 120 credit hours; 55 general education/program requirements and 65 professional. All course work must be completed in compliance with the program’s and school’s academic and professional policies.
