BA/BS in Nuclear Medicine

The Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging Technology Program (NMMIT) is a joint educational program offered through the University of Toronto and The Michener Institute of Education at UHN. NMMIT allows students to experience all aspects of the profession, including preparing radiopharmaceuticals and handling radioactivity, imaging using gamma cameras, Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)/ Computed tomography (CT), Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD) scanners, exploration of emerging technologies in Positron Emission Computed Tomography (PECT)/ Computed tomography (CT), and theranostics. Theory is put into practice by examining increasingly complex case studies and applying knowledge in both simulated and clinical environments. Graduates are eligible to write the national certification examination conducted by the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT). Certification allows them to apply for registration as a nuclear medicine technologist with the College of Medical Radiation and Imaging Technologists of Ontario (CMRITO). The NMMIT program is accredited by Accreditation Canada. Accreditation is a quality improvement process that ensures educational programs meet national standards and that students acquire the knowledge, skills, and competencies for safe and effective care at entry to practice.
