Bachelor in Nuklearmedizin

Nuclear Medicine procedures use radioactive materials to Nuclear Medicine Technology is the medical specialty concerned with using small amounts of radioactive material for diagnostic, therapeutic, and research purposes. It is a vigorous, dynamic field that has grown phenomenally over the years and is expected to continue to grow in the future.

The Nuclear Medicine Technology Program was established in 1967 by the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, in conjunction with the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine (CCOM). It was only the second baccalaureate program in the country to come into existence. University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics is a university-owned teaching hospital and is the program's official sponsor. However, the program is also recognized as one of the Carver College of Medicine's associated medical sciences and can award an undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa.

The Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine is a highly ranked medical school where students learn to become accomplished clinicians and top-flight researchers and educators. Students come to Iowa to study medicine in a program that uses case-based learning as the basis of their education. With its emphasis on problem-solving skills, early exposure to patients, and enhanced community-based experiences, UI medical students typically earn impressive scores on Step 1 of the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination and successfully “match” with top-quality residency programs around the country.

The College is part of the University of Iowa Health Care—a fully integrated academic medical center, which also includes the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, and University of Iowa Physicians, the largest multi-specialty group practice in Iowa. As the state’s only comprehensive academic medical center, UI Health Care is committed to world-class patient care, biomedical research, and medical education.
