Nuclear Medicine Tech Jobs May Get Tougher

According to a report by DotMed.com, Congress is considering a proposal to amend the Public Health Service Act. Currently, there is no set standard when it comes to education and being able to work as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist. But if The Society of Nuclear Medicine has its way that will all change.

The reasoning behind The Society of Nuclear Medicine’s decision to force Congress’ hand is simple: uneducated techs make mistakes and those mistakes mean poor images and misdiagnosis—all of which costs millions of dollars and could cost the lives of countless human beings.

That’s why The Institute of Allied Medical Professions is proud of the fact that we’ve gone above and beyond our duty as a school. Not only are we an Accredited Allied Health School but we offer hands on clinical externships—designed to help students succeed with minimal error.
