NUM-2130 — Clinical Nuclear Medicine III
Clinical experience courses provide the opportunity for students to observe, practice and perform diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures, as well as participate in a quality assurance program. Clinical courses are directed, competency-based experiences in affiliate health care facilities; licensed and registered technologists (or pharmacists) provide guidance, mentorship and critiques. This course is the third of five clinical education courses. A greater emphasis is placed on interacting with various computer-based systems found in a nuclear medicine department. The student will utilize radiology and hospital information systems in managing patient and procedure information; generate quantitative and qualitative results from acquired data for routine imaging procedures (through the use of advanced processing software); and evaluate instrumentation quality control data against acceptable ranges. Additionally, the student will participate in cardiac stress testing and follow Department of Transportation guidelines in the management of radioactive shipments. Course
