AB  - The goal of this article is to discuss the teaching of professional behavior to nuclear medicine technologists. The focus is on the present-day student situation and practices in the programs at Bellevue College and at Oregon Institute of Technology. Professional behavior is defined, and ways to communicate and assess it are described. Additionally, approaches to remedy unprofessional behavior are presented. The needs and expectations of clinical sites and of future employers of nuclear medicine graduates, as well as current avenues for promoting professionalism, are also discussed.
