In conjunction with the didactic lectures and clinical
exposure, all participants rotate through the various activities of the nuclear
medicine laboratory. Although each individual is expected to spend a required
minimum time in every section, it is recognized that certain persons, due to
their needs or interest, will require more time in certain areas. Therefore, the
training program will remain somewhat flexible to suit the needs of individual
resident physicians. Each resident will have to spend each year at least one
month in technical rotation on the various imaging systems and one month in the
diagnostic radiology body CT section.
The program currently has an agreement with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center whereby candidates spend one-month training each year at MSKCC�s Nuclear
Medicine Section. This rotation provides residents with more exposure to
dedicated PET systems, monoclonal antibody imaging, pediatric population and
radioimmunotherapy.
