Programme options

As a Dalhousie University Bachelor of Health Sciences in Nuclear Medicine Technology student, you will have many opportunities to do hands-on clinical work. During the eight-week summer clinical practicum after years one, two and three, you will put the knowledge learned in the classroom to real-life use in the hospital setting. You may choose to stay in Halifax to complete the practicums, but may also have to travel to locations elsewhere in the Maritime provinces.

The post-diploma programme option is equivalent to 2 years of full-time university study (60 credit hours). To accommodate working professionals, the post-diploma programme is available on a full time or part-time basis and most of the courses are delivered online.
