If you want to become a nuclear medicine technologist, there are several programs in Idaho that will help fulfill this purpose. One way to start on your path to becoming a nuclear medicine tech is to pursue a degree in radiologic technology. Nuclear medicine technologist schools in Idaho range anywhere from online programs that can be completed in the comfort of your own home to four-year programs held on a university campus. Admission into radiology programs in Idaho is intensely competitive. Since there is no limit on the number of applications you can submit, candidates are encouraged to research and apply to several different programs.

Many nuclear medicine tech positions are entry-level and require only an associate degree for qualified applicants. However, to further progress in the field, it may become necessary to pursue a bachelor’s degree or master’s program. The state of Idaho has programs on every degree of the spectrum.

Nuclear medicine falls under the umbrella of radiologic technology. On this topic, it should be noted that there is a distinct difference, in pay and requirements, between a limited-scope Idaho radiology technician and a certified Idaho radiologic technologist. In this state, if the educational program takes less than two years, then it is generally a limited-scope program.
