OVERVIEW

The purpose of these guidelines is to provide the minimum standards and/or resources to provide a meaningful experience for people who participate in a preceptorship in a cardiovascular nuclear medicine laboratory. The intent of a preceptorship may vary from a review of cardiac nuclear imaging to a formal reintroduction to the field. Depending on the intent, preceptorships currently range from 1-to 2-day informal reading sessions to those lasting up to 4 months with or without correlative imaging conferences. These guidelines are not meant to replace formal ACGME training in nuclear cardiology, which results in licensure and/or certification. The purpose of this document is to provide the minimum resources, which include staffing, equipment, scope of studies, and didactic resources to provide a rich experience for the people involved in the preceptorship.
