Mission Statement
The Emory Nuclear Medicine Residency Program is dedicated to instilling trainees with the highest standards in nuclear medicine education, research, professionalism, patient and family-centered care.
We are committed to recruiting and mentoring a diverse group of trainees who will develop into dynamic leaders in the field. We strive to foster an inclusive culture that integrates innovative research with clinical nuclear medicine of the highest quality.
About
Emory offers a comprehensive experience in adult and pediatric nuclear medicine, with an emphasis on molecular imaging and complex radionuclide therapies. Emory is a leader in nuclear medicine innovation and has acquired a GE Signa PET/MR. The program has faculty who are committed to education and a robust didactic lecture series and also provides other educational opportunities including journal clubs, systemic quality improvement projects, “stump the attending” conferences and some resident/fellow led lectures. Research opportunities abound.
Our program offers diverse clinical experiences at multiple hospital settings. Preference is generally given to those who have trained in internal medicine or radiology, but training in nuclear medicine alone could be considered for qualified applicants. Those who have completed an ACGME-accredited residency program in a non-imaging specialty may complete the Nuclear Medicine Residency Program in two years, and those with prior ACGME-accredited diagnostic radiology residency training may complete the program in one year. For those who have ABR certification, they will be eligible for special competence certification in Nuclear Radiology.
All successful applicants will be eligible for certification by the American Board of Nuclear Medicine (ABNM). Emory is dedicated to fostering diversity.

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.

Eligibility
Application
Applicants should apply only via ERAS. 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.
