Course Information

With the development of new radiopharmaceuticals, cancer-detecting and cancer-killing agents, and new hybrid imaging, the field of nuclear medicine is growing at break-neck speeds - with a unique ability to determine physiological function at the molecular level. Your first three years of classes are at Lewis University, with your fourth and final year of classes at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) or the College of Dupage (COD), upon which you will receive your degree from Lewis.
