This is the only degree of its kind in South Australia, preparing you for a rewarding career in the highly specialised field of nuclear medicine.
Start your unstoppable career as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist, responsible for preparing and administering radioactive substances (radiopharmaceuticals), to evaluate the function of an organ or body system and diagnose/treat disease.
With specialised equipment and computer systems to analyse data, it’s easy to see why this degree is so highly regarded both nationally and internationally.
High achieving students may be considered for the Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Honours) (Nuclear Medicine) program in the third year.
Nuclear Medicine Technologists need to know how to confidently prepare and administer radioactive substances (radiopharmaceuticals), to evaluate the function of an organ or body system and diagnose/treat diseases. Throughout your degree, you’ll learn how to work with radioactive substances, and complement your clinical skills with valuable interpersonal skills, such as communication and collaboration.
During your first year, you’ll focus on basic sciences at the core of the study and practice of medical radiation science. You’ll cover a range of topics, including anatomy, physiology, pathology and radiation physics. These core subjects introduce you to the scientific principles surrounding medical radiation.
You’ll apply these concepts to professional practice through clinical placements, which begin in your second year and continue through third and fourth years.
Throughout your studies, you’ll take part in regular pre-clinical preparation workshops to further extend your skills as you move into advanced areas of practice.
