The University of Manitoba Nuclear Medicine program no longer offers a straight Nuclear medicine training program. This step was taken in order to better prepare our residents for the rapidly expanding field of hybrid imaging which requires expertise in both Nuclear Medicine and Radiology.  It also better equips our residents for future career opportunities.

Highlights of the Nuclear medicine training program at U of Manitoba include:

ü     High faculty to resident ratio

ü     Dedicated 2 year didactic lecture series covering all basic and clinical subject areas

ü     Fully funded clinical PET program

ü     On site cyclotron facility allowing a wide range of research opportunities

ü     Centralized radiopharmacy and radiopharmacist

ü     Involvement in unique provincial Bone densitometry program

ü     Support for a conference or course annually.  Additional funding for research presentations or workshops also available.

ü     Research opportunities in clinical and basic sciences.

ü     Close interaction with Endocrinology and Cardiology.

All aspects of training can be fulfilled at the U of Manitoba.  There are no mandatory out of province rotations, although elective time in other centers may be arranged and is encouraged.

Applicants interested in either entry stream are encouraged to discuss the program further with the program director:
