Responsibilities in Health Care
Learn the basic principles of the production of x-radiation and how to make these principles work is imperative for the student of nuclear medicine.
Responsibilities in Health Care
During classroom preparation, the student may practice in the hot lab using the different equipment and machine they need to know.
From Classroom to Clinical Setting
After classroom preparation, clinical experience offers the opportunity for the student to determine whether all things learned about the NMT.
From Classroom to Clinical Setting
