Advanced Training in Nuclear Medicine

2011 Training Positions:  If you wish to apply for a nuclear medicine training position in NSW for 2011, you will need to apply via NSW Health's JMO Recruitment website at:  http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/jobs/recruitment/jmo.asp.  Note that this closes on 16 August 2010 at 5.00 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time.

To apply for a training position in any other state, please contact the training site of your choice. 

 Advanced training in nuclear medicine consists of a structured program of two years’ minimum duration, open to medical graduates who are physicians or radiologists.

The program is overseen by the Joint Specialist Advisory Committee (JSAC) in Nuclear Medicine of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR).

The requirements for advanced training in nuclear medicine are available on the RACP website at:  www.racp.edu.au/training/adult2003/advanced/vocational/nuclear_med.htm

Training may only be undertaken at an accredited training site. Note: Prior to taking a position at any training site, trainees must ensure that they check with the JSAC in Nuclear Medicine to ensure that their chosen training site is suitable for their current training needs.  Trainees considering undertaking training at an overseas training site must contact the ANZAPNM and the JSAC for advice about their proposed training site well in advance of taking any position at the site.  Note that overseas training sites must be pre-approved each year that a trainee in the JSAC Advanced Training Program in Nuclear Medicine wishes to attend the site.  

If you require additional information about training requirements, please contact the JSAC Secretariat at NuclearMedicine [at] racp.edu.au.

ANZAPNM Components of Training

The ANZAPNM runs the Continuous Assessment Program and the Basic Sciences Course, both of which are compulsory components of the advanced training program in nuclear medicine.

ANZAPNM Syllabus for Advanced Training in Nuclear Medicine

The ANZAPNM’s Education Committee has also produced a Syllabus for Advanced Training in Nuclear Medicine, which is available to all current trainees on the ANZAPNM’s Trainee Resource and Education Centre (TREC) site and ANZAPNM Members on the Members’ Site.

ANZAPNM Registrar Award

The ANZAPNM also offers a Registrar Award for a nuclear medicine trainee who gives the best oral presentation at the ANZSNM Annual Scientific Meeting. The Award is open to current trainees and those who are no more than one year post-training.

ANZAPNM Cross-Sectional Anatomy Course

Since 2006, the ANZAPNM has run a very successful annual course in cross-sectional anatomy (CSA) for nuclear medicine physicians. The overall aim of the course is to give nuclear medicine physicians foundation knowledge in CSA to assist them in interpreting images from the new hybrid SPECT/CT and PET/CT cameras.  

The ANZAPNM CSA Course is run once per year, and is open to nuclear medicine specialists and trainees and other interested medical practitioners and trainees. Further information is available here.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

The ANZAPNM is developing CPD resouces for members so they can gain CPD credits with their respective Colleges (RACP or RANZCR). These activities and related information are available through the Members’ Site.
