Certifications and Licensure
Graduates of the Nuclear Medicine Technology program are eligible to apply to sit for the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board exam and/or the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists exam in nuclear medicine technology. You will have the didactic requirements for the NMTCB computed tomography exam with an option to complete the clinical requirements.
With NMTCB and/or ARRT credentials, graduates are eligible for licensure through Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (ARRA) in Nuclear Medicine Technologist (CNMT) and the option for Computed Tomography licensure.
Accreditation
Accreditation is a process used to measure and certify the credibility and quality of services offered by an organization.
The Nuclear Medicine program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology (JRCNMT), the nationally recognized accrediting agency for educational programs for nuclear medicine technologists.
GateWay is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
Why should you choose an accredited school?
Although many schools offer seemingly similar degree and certification options, not all schools are accredited. In many instances, accreditation of the degree or program you complete may be required in order to become certified to work in the field.
