Abstract

TS6

Introduction: Portray conventional methods nuclear medicine technologists acquire information new radiopharmaceutical or procedure information prior to clinical implementation as well as investigate wether or not education and training is suitable enough to produce technologist competency.

Methods: Independent research - a nine question survey / questionnaire was developed with help from a medical science liasion working in oncology with GE Healthcare. The survey was posted on Chattanooga State Nuclear Medicine Program's facebook page and sent to previous nuclear medicine graduates

Standard peer reviewed journal research was also performed

Results: Numerous methods can be utilized by technologists to conventionally obtain new radiopharmaceutical information

Vendors, manufacturers and sales representatives make up the vast proportion of educating and training technologists.

Technologists prefer to be trained onsite by those same vendors, manufacturers and sales representatives.

Conclusions: Achieving technologists competency begins with acquiring new radiopharmaceutical informatino followed by proper training. These are most often accomplished thru vendors, manufacturers and sales representatives.

The surveyed technologists beleive the training they recieved for a new radiopharmaceutical is sufficient for achieving competency.

Onsite training is favored by technologists.
