Rotation

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.
