Module A-1
Aim: This training program is designed for the physicians to get expertise in nuclear cardiology.
The nominee will become familiar with the cardiac SPECT & SPECT/CT in 4 weeks. and he or she will be able to direct the procedure and report the myocardial SPECTs without supervision in 16 weeks. The applicant should also participate in a clinical and an MCQ exam at the end of the 16-week course and, the fail/pass result would be denoted in the final certification.
Course Duration: 16 and 4 weeks training courses; 4 days a week
Course Location: Department of Nuclear Medicine, Shariati Hospital, Tehran, Iran
Daily Training Schedule
-
Two hours a day hands-on interpretation of myocardial perfusion SPECs; the nominee should interpret and report more than 30 myocardial SPECTs per week under direct supervision of the attending nuclear physicians;
-
Two hours a day participation in data acquisition and process of the images (>30 scans /wks);
-
Participation in stress procedures; and,
