Clinical education is provided at Muhlenberg Regional
Medical Center, JFK Medical Center, Morristown Memorial
Hospital, Somerset Medical Center, Mountainside Hospital,
Jersey Shore Medical Center, Syncor Radiopharmacy and Nycomed-Amersham
Radiopharmacy. Students are assigned to two different hospitals
for about 6 months each, along with a three-week assignment
to one of the radiopharmacies.
Students are required to complete a specific number of clinical
competencies during their clinical education. During clinical
training students first observe procedures, then perform
them under direct supervision of a certified nuclear medicine
technologist. After demonstrating competency, the student
is then allowed to perform the procedure under indirect
supervision.
