Program Learning Outcomes
Nuclear Medicine is the use of radioactive materials and sophisticated electronic scanning equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of certain suspected or known disorders of the human body. Students enrolled in the Nuclear Medicine Technology (NMT) program spend the first year completing the core Liberal Arts and Science classes. The second year begins in May and is specific to NMT didactic and clinical instruction. The program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Upon successful completion of the NMT program requirements, graduates are eligible to apply for Board Certification through national certifying agencies: The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board. NMT students must complete the minimum number of required hours of clinical instruction, which are scheduled the second year of the program in collaboration with clinical affiliates. Clinical hours occur during all College sessions.
Education Unique to Each Student
The support I received at RCSJ means a lot, especially being first-generation. It meant a lot having those people there to guide me, have 100% trust in me to do what I said I was going to do, . . . and believe in me even more than I believed in myself.
