The SNMMI supports the Baccalaureate Degree
Traditionally, nuclear medicine technologists could gain entry into the professions though a certificate program, associate degree or baccalaureate degree. The SNMMI-TS supports the baccalaureate degree as entry level and has been working with nuclear medicine educators to transition associate level programs to the baccalaureate level by 2015.
