VISION: To incorporate the philosophy of the college which allows a balance between basic science, general education and technical courses so that the student will possess a solid background for future career development.

What is Nuclear Medicine?
A Nuclear Medicine Technologist (NMT) is the health care professional responsible for performing nuclear medicine examinations which assist the physician in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. The trained NMT prepares and administers radiopharmaceuticals and performs patient imaging and treatment procedures using a variety of radiation detection and imaging devices. Technologists perform data analysis on the computer and provide patient information and images to the physician.

Day in the Life

Graduates of the Tri-C NMT program, meet the educational and clinical eligibility requirements to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Nuclear Medicine Examination and the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) examination. This program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Educational programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology (JRCNMT).
