About

The Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging of Emory University has openings for two (2) 1-year PET combined clinical-research fellowships. The Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences maintains an excellent academic environment with a strong commitment to research and teaching in a wide range of disciplines. Emory offers a comprehensive experience in molecular imaging and therapy including complex radionuclide therapies. Emory is a leader in nuclear medicine innovation and has acquired a GE Signa PET/MR. The fellowship will combine clinical PET training with protected research time and an opportunity to work with novel PET radiotracers among many other clinical and research possibilities.

The program also provides additional MRI physics education and opportunities for the fellow to give lectures and present at various tumor conferences. Our program offers diverse clinical experiences at multiple hospital settings. Emory is dedicated to fostering diversity.

Clinical duties include on-call responsibilities and covering nuclear medicine service at one of Emory's teaching hospitals.

For the qualified candidate, there may be an option to create a personalized program, which could include body imaging as well as general and cardiac nuclear medicine rotations. An option for a second year of fellowship experience may also be considered at the discretion of the fellowship director and division director.

Faculty

There are 13 full-time physicians in the Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. There also are 14 dedicated research faculty including 13 PhDs and 1 MD in four translational and basic science laboratories.



Facilities

Emory University Hospital is a 439-bed hospital based on Emory's Clifton Campus and serves as the flagship teaching hospital for the Emory University School of Medicine. Emory University Hospital Midtown (formerly known as Crawford Lung Hospital) adds rich dimensions to the patient demographics seen at the Clifton Campus. Grady Memorial Hospital is a 900-bed county hospital with a very active nuclear medicine service and recently updated equipment. The Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center is located adjacent to the Emory University campus. All institutions feature state-of-the-art equipment with advanced hybrid imaging using PET/CT and SPECT/CT instruments. Emory has also acquired a GE Signa PET/MR which will soon be installed.



Equipment

The equipment at the Emory University-affiliated nuclear medicine facilities includes state-of-the-art imaging and computer systems. Each institution has several imaging systems including SPECT and SPECT/CT and specialized computer facilities. Emory has a PET Center, including three PET/CT scanners as well as PET/CT instruments at Emory University Hospital Midtown, Grady Memorial Hospital, and the Atlanta VA Medical Center. Emory has also acquired a GE Signa PET/MR which will soon be installed.

Additional research instruments include one high-resolution brain PET scanner, a microPET/CT preclinical scanner, a multispectral in-vivo fluorescence imaging system, and a cyclotron located at the Center for Systems Imaging at Wesley Woods.



Patient Population

Diverse patient populations are served by the different hospitals within the broader Emory Healthcare system including a pediatric population at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. Emory serves a catchment area beyond the bounds of the metropolitan Atlanta region, drawing patients from across the Southeast and, because Atlanta serves as a hub for international travel and business, even from around the world. Thus, trainees experience patients with a broad range of both common and uncommon conditions.



Research

Research opportunities are available for fellows in both clinical and basic research; research is required and is tailored to the individual's long-term goals. Research facilities include state-of-the-art cyclotron and radiochemistry services, animal imaging research laboratories utilizing PET-CT and a wide variety of other resources. The division is integrally involved in research conducted by Emory University School of Medicine faculty, including close collaboration with colleagues in the departments of Radiology and Cardiology and the Winship Cancer Institute. Currently, there are active clinical research programs involving new PET and single-photon radiotracers, and many other projects involving translational medicine.



Conferences

There are three regularly scheduled didactic conferences a week, including a comprehensive series of lectures in all aspects of clinical nuclear medicine, and a series of lectures in physics, computer techniques, and radiochemistry. In addition, there are quarterly journal clubs and PET conferences as well as weekly departmental Grand Rounds lectures.



Eligibility

Applicants must have completed a nuclear medicine or radiology residency and be either board-eligible or board-certified by the American Board of Nuclear Medicine or The American Board of Radiology. In addition, applicants must be eligible for an unrestricted license to practice medicine in the state of Georgia.

Application

Applicants will apply via HR:

PET/CT Fellowship 2021-2022

Applicants should apply only via the process outlined at this Emory Human Resources website. There is no benefit to calling or sending additional emails to the faculty or program leadership including the program coordinator as these communications may impart bias. We are deliberate about fairness and an in-depth and holistic review of all applications with specific attention to applicant’s fit with our missions of clinical excellence, intellectual curiosity and the privilege of patient care.
