The Department of Nuclear Medicine is a department that takes a research assistant/assistant with the Medical Specialization Examination , which is subject to clinical sciences in our country, and covers a 4-year education period in our country.
This training period includes scintigraphic imaging methods, radionuclide treatment applications, and a clinical application area in which thyroid diseases are diagnosed / treated in most training clinics.
During the education period, external rotations are made in Radiology, Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, Endocrinology and Cardiology departments, which are the fields that are frequently worked together in the future professional life. Nuclear medicine literature mainly consists of English publications. The fact that the research assistant candidates who will prefer nuclear medicine have a good level of foreign language knowledge and are related to computer technology before their specialty training is a facilitating factor for their education and it is recommended to be taken into consideration during their preference.
