The Bachelor of Health Sciences (Nuclear Medicine Technology) is a four-year entry-to-practice degree offered by Dalhousie's School of Health Sciences. The program prepares Nuclear Medicine Technologists to combine patient care with technical skill, diagnosing and treating illness using radioactive drugs called radiopharmaceuticals. Coursework covers radiation physics, human anatomy and physiology, radiopharmacy, and cardiac and PET imaging procedures. In years one through three, students complete a clinical practicum of six to eight weeks each summer, with most placements located across Atlantic Canada. The program is fully accredited, and graduates are eligible for certification with the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT). A two-year post-diploma option is also offered for practicing technologists. Coursework is delivered through a combination of online instruction and in-person clinical placements, with a September intake. Admission is limited, with priority given to Nova Scotia and other Atlantic Canada residents; international students are not eligible for admission.
