Students begin the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program in Summer term of each year. A total of 75 credits must be completed for this degree (48 for the CCC). The required general education courses are an important part of the program. Since admissions are highly competitive, it is strongly recommended that you take the core courses in the first and second semesters, particularly the natural science courses, before you are admitted to the program. Your success in the courses you take before applying to the program will improve your chances of being admitted, although taking these courses in advance does not guarantee admission.
Course content is sequential, and students must plan to enroll in all NMT courses in the order and during the terms indicated in the following curriculum outline.
HSC 0003
HSC 0003, Introduction to Health Care, is required of all students entering this program. To be considered for an exemption, program applicants must provide one of the following:
- Current state license of certification in a health care field that involves direct patient care. Effective January 2003, you will be required to submit a written statement from your employer on official letterhead indicating that you have been actively employed in your field within the past 2 years.
- Transcript from Miami-Dade County Public Schools showing completion of HSC 1 and HSC 2 within 2 years of anticipated entry to a Medical Center Campus Program.
- Completion of an equivalent course at another accredited institution. Both an official transcript and a course description are required.
All students must provide a current CPR card for Health Professionals and HIV/OSHA certificate. ALL APPLICANTS MUST COMPLETE HSC 0003 PRIOR TO BEING CONSIDERED FOR ADMISSION TO THE PROGRAM (OR SHOW PROOF OF WAIVER).
Terms 1 and 2 are general education requirement courses
(the completion of these courses does not mean the applicant has been admitted to the program. Please see the admissions process on the Requirements page of this website. All of these courses must be completed to be considered as a candidate for the program.)
