The Stanford Department of Radiology (http://radiology.stanford.edu) is training the next generation of world-wide leaders in academic and clinical Nuclear Medicine. If you desire the challenge of a lifetime, which combines the best residency/fellowship training in basic nuclear instrumentation technology, molecular imaging, and clinical nuclear medicine, then the Stanford program is right for you. The Stanford Nuclear Medicine Clinic (a division of the Radiology Department) combines very unique features in order to offer you a solid training program in Nuclear Medicine. We offer a clinical program centered at the Stanford University with a Nuclear Medicine satellite that includes the VA Hospital. Training in conventional Nuclear Medicine and PET/CT are provided. A strong basic science program in molecular imaging (MIPS) is also a unique feature of the program. Applicants desiring an academic career in Nuclear Medicine are especially encouraged to apply. The ACGME approved residency program is 3 years and there are a total of 3 positions.
Prerequisites for entering this program include a valid California Medical License and one year of training in an ACGME accredited program in a clinical area, such as a transitional year in internal medicine, family practice, surgery, pediatrics, etc. prior to commencing the Nuclear Medicine residency.
