AB We conducted a 5-year follow-up study of 204 graduates from a school of nuclear medicine technology. Data concerning students’ prior backgrounds, performance in the program, and employment status after graduation were investigated and correlated. Data suggest that previous educational background and grade point achievement in didactic instruction are in some ways an indication for success in nuclear medicine technology. Students who maintained A or B averages in the didactic program acheived 100% or 87% registry passing rates accordingly. Furthermore, students who entered the program with a 4-year degree or better exhibited a 90% registry passing rate.
