Nuclear Medicine Technology Certificate

A certificate of completion in nuclear medicine technology consists of successfully completed post-secondary prerequisites (grade of "C" or better) in college algebra, English composition, general chemistry with lab, general physics with lab (must be a general physics course, radiologic physics will not satisfy this prerequisite), human anatomy, human physiology, humanities, medical terminology, social science, speech/oral communication, and CPR (certification must be valid throughout the clinical training period and cover adults, children, and infants).
