The Review Committee will schedule site visits to seventeen nuclear medicine technology programs seeking continued accreditation during 2004. A list of programs undergoing review in the year 2004 is appended at the end of this article. Written third party testimony may be submitted regarding any nuclear medicine technology program undergoing review. Persons desiring to present third-party oral testimony must submit a written request.
The Directory of Accredited Programs 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 Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology (JRCNMT). Programmatic accreditation by the JRCNMT provides assurance to applicants that the program provides education and training based on professional standards.
Educational Programs
Length
The professional portion of the program is 1 year 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. The attached list identifies the entrance requirements for each program. “1” indicates programs that require applicants to possess a high school diploma or equivalent. “2” indicates programs that require applicants to have some postsecondary academic courses. “3” indicates programs that require applicants to have prior training in an allied health profession such as radiologic technology, medical technology, nursing, etc. “4” indicates programs that require applicants to have a baccalaureate degree with specific postsecondary courses.
Prerequisites
Applicants for admission must have graduated from high school or the equivalent and have acquired postsecondary competencies in human anatomy and physiology, physics, mathematics, medical terminology, oral and written communications, chemistry, and medical ethics.
Curriculum
The curriculum includes methods of patient care, radiation safety and protection, nuclear medicine physics and radiation physics, nuclear instrumentation, statistics, radionuclide chemistry and radiopharmacy, radiation biology, diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging and non-imaging in-vivo and in-vitro procedures, radionuclide therapy, computer applications, immunology as related to nuclear medicine, and quality control and quality assurance.
Standards
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 are available on written request from the JRCNMT.
Inquiries
Requests for information on program accreditation, including the Essentials, preparing the self-study report, and arranging a site visit, may be addressed to:
