Specialisation School for doctors current degree course regulations D. I. 68/15
The Specialisation School in Nuclear medicine trains specialists who have acquired knowledge in in vivo and in vitro diagnostics with radioactive tracers, as well as in a radiometabolic therapy section, possibly integrated into a brachytherapy section for inpatients.
The training activities take place at the facilities of the Training network of the School, subject to the finalisation of the agreements between the University degli Studi di Padua and the relevant healthcare authorities.
The inclusion of facilities in the Training network requires both ministerial accreditation and the completion of the agreement process with the University: only after the formalisation of the agreement is the facility to be considered effectively part of the Network. To verify the actual inclusion of a facility in the training network and for updated information on the status of agreements, it is necessary to contact the Settore Short Specialisation degrees Office.
The School adopts a Quality Policy that ensures the delivery of training activities with an approach aimed at meeting the needs of doctors in training, teaching and non-teaching staff, with a view to innovation and continuous improvement.
