NUMT 1500

This clinical practicum will introduce students to the dynamics of a nuclear medicine and diagnostic imaging department through a full-time, immersive, eight-week clinical placement. Students will gain familiarity with departmental procedures and will be able to apply previously learned professional practice skills and procedural theory. Emphasis will be placed on the development of clinical skills in skeletal, genitourinary, and tumor/inflammatory systems and professional skills when interacting with patients and healthcare professionals. Students will also strive to achieve increased proficiency in communication, patient care, image acquisition and assessment, instrumentation, and quality control.
