The JRCNMT will hold its spring meeting April 16–17 in Nashville, TN. Programs undergoing review were published in the March 2010 issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology. A report on the spring meeting will be published in the September issue.
ANNUAL JRCNMT WORKSHOP
The annual JRCNMT workshop will be held June 5 as part of the Educator's Forum at the SNM annual meeting in Salt Lake City, UT.
LIST OF ACCREDITED NUCLEAR MEDICINE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS
An updated list of accredited nuclear medicine technology programs follows. This list is updated after each board meeting. The list is also available online at www.jrcnmt.org.
The directory of accredited programs below identifies those programs that have met or exceeded the Essentials and Guidelines for an Accredited Educational Program for the Nuclear Medicine Technologist. These programs have voluntarily undergone a peer review process established by the JRCNMT. Programmatic accreditation by the JRCNMT provides assurance to applicants that the program provides education based on recognized professional standards.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Length
The professional portion of the program is 1 to 2 years in length. Institutions offering accredited programs may provide an integrated educational sequence leading to an associate or baccalaureate degree over a period of 2 or 4 years.
Programs vary in length depending on the admission criteria. Some programs admit students directly from high school; others require prior education for entrance.
Prerequisites
Applicants for admission must have graduated from high school or the equivalent and have acquired postsecondary competencies in human anatomy and physiology, physics, algebra, medical terminology, computer applications, oral and written communications, and general chemistry.
Curriculum
The curriculum includes methods of patient care, statistics, nuclear medicine physics and radiation physics, radiation biology, radiation safety and radiation protection, radionuclide chemistry and radiopharmacy, nuclear instrumentation, PET, computer applications for nuclear medicine, diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging and nonimaging in vivo and in vitro procedures, immunology as related to nuclear medicine, radionuclide therapy, and quality control and quality assurance.
Standards
The Essentials are minimum educational standards adopted by the collaborating organizations. Each new program is assessed in accordance with the Essentials, and accredited programs are periodically reviewed to determine whether they remain in substantial compliance. The Essentials and Guidelines publication is available online at www.jrcnmt.org.
Inquiries
Requests for information on program accreditation, including the Essentials, preparing the self-study report, and arranging a site visit, may be addressed to:
