Host a Nuclear MAP

We are excited to invite all Technologist members to get active in their community by hosting a Nuclear MAP. There are many different options and opportunities to host a Nuclear MAP, including speaking to students at local elementary, middle, or high school about the opportunities about a career in nuclear medicine. Or scheduling a meeting with a state legislator to educate them on what nuclear medicine is and how important nuclear medicine technologists are to patient care. Together our ambassadors have reached an audience of more than 1,866 people — and counting!

Currently, there are only 68 programmatically accredited nuclear medicine technology programs, with several states not having a program at all. This lack of educational infrastructure ultimately leads to communities having inadequate support from qualified technologists, which in turn leads to inadequate access to care for patients. Direct support for these areas will not only increase diversity and cultural understanding but also improve patients’ access to care, their perceptions of the care they receive, and their health outcomes.
