Combined ABNM–ABR Training Program in Molecular Imaging
| Recommendation | Description |
| Radiology training | 2.5 y of training with emphasis on CT and MRI, including standard rotations in interventional radiology, emergency radiology, and neurology (under auspices of ABR) |
| Nuclear medicine training | 16 mo of training in basic nuclear medicine and 2 mo in molecular imaging (under auspices of ABNM) |
| Additional training | At end of 4 y of training, although eligible for ABR and ABNM certification, trainee is encouraged to take 1- to 2-y fellowship training in molecular imaging |
| Molecular imaging fellowships* | Specialized molecular imaging core curriculum, weekly lectures on advanced imaging and probe development, relevant biology in cancer and other target tissues |
| Dual-mentor–supervised research program in molecular imaging | |
| Basic science mentor from disciplines of biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, cell biology, molecular biology, genetics | |
| Molecular imaging mentor with emphasis on radiochemistry, cancer pharmacology, tumor immunology, gene therapy, imaging physics | |
| Practica in technical aspects of molecular imaging such as small-animal imaging, vector development, and radiolabeling | |
| Access to core curriculum of parent university MD–PhD program in cell biology, pharmacology, animal handling, research ethics, statistics | |
| Weekly institutional lecture series, including molecular imaging series with outside experts, cancer biology, and translational cancer biology |
