I've heard of Acta Radiologica but have never actually seen it.

MD DOC: The first step in looking for NM jobs is obviously checking out SNM and ACR websites. In addition, I would recommend buliding strong networking skills during your residency. A great many NM jobs (particularly in private practice) are not advertised and only found by word of mouth...

With the recent changes in nuclear medicine training length, I am not sure if completing IM + NM in 4 years is possible anymore. You should contact the ABNM; I am sure they can answer this question for you.

Indeed. You are not an expert in this field. I am a practicing nuclear medicine physician who had multiple jobs offers at time of graduation. Even now I get offers from recruiters and colleagues who are looking to hire additional staff. At my current place of emplyoment, we have more work than...

Interesting, Strength & speed. Would you care to elaborate?

In short, you can do NM after IM. Although many programs will have medicare funding issues, there are several that wont. You will need to contact them directly. Good luck.

Hi, I also replied to your PM. Re: the length of residency, the best thing to do is to call the American Board of Nuclear Medicine directly, you can get their number at www.abnm.org

As of right now, pure nucmed trained people do not read other diagnostic modalities such as MR, Xray, U/S etc. With the advent, and greater utilization of "fusion imaging" such as PET-CT, SPECT-CT, and PET-MR etc, nucmed folks should be able to read the anatomic aspect of the exam with proper...

Hi "Water" To maximize your chances of getting a (good) job, I'd recommend getting into the best program that you can. Unlike internal medicine, radiology etc, there isnt an abundance of jobs out there. Having said that, with the proper training background and the right connections, you...

Johns Hopkins does not offer the combined neuro/rad/neurorad training pathway anymore.

Adding (to FW's post) my rudimentry knowledge of the Indian Medical system... The 3 year MD program in radiodiagnosis? is considered "equivalent" to radiology residency in the U.S. I believe there is also a 2 year "diploma", which allows one to practice radiology in India, but it is not...

In reference to the above post.. You ARE able to work at an institution for 4 years as a fellow AND/OR attending in order to become board eligible.
