Charles R. Drew University is in the process of re-organizing its academic offerings to meet the needs of the community while maintaining academic excellence and financial sustainability.  As a result, the administration and faculty have decided to suspend the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program until further notice.  At this time, we are not accepting applications from prospective students.”

• Nuclear Medicine Technologists administer radiopharmaceuticals to patients and use highly computerized imaging devices to monitor the characteristics and functions of tissues or organs in which they localize.
• The technology of nuclear medicine enables precise diagnosis. For example, abnormal areas show higher or lower concentrations of radiopharmaceutical distribution than normal.
