Nuclear Medicine Students on Computer

Comprehensive Education

When education goes beyond textbooks and arithmetic, students thrive. That’s why the core and program-specific classes in our nuclear medicine technology degree program are designed to prepare you to handle real-world situations with a compassionate,  human touch.

Once you complete our prerequisite courses, you’ll enter the cohort as a second year student and begin taking general education classes. Professional courses begin during your third year. Then you’ll divide your time between didactic courses and clinical rotations at various nuclear medicine and CT departments in the area.*

Our goal is to train nuclear medicine technologists who are ready to provide diagnostic, therapeutic and investigative applications in the field of medicine.

*Successful completion of the nuclear medicine registry exam is required prior to CT certification testing post-graduation.

Program Mission Statement

Consistent with the mission of the University, the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program at AdventHealth University provides an environment where students pursue technical expertise in the field of nuclear medicine while respecting their own spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical development.
