Students looking for nuclear medicine technologist schools in Wisconsin can find them available in state universities, but most programs are predominately found through private universities, university hospitals and clinics, technical and medical colleges, and community hospitals and medical centers. By graduating from a nuclear medicine technology program in Wisconsin, students can earn certificates of completion, associates degrees, and bachelor degrees. While an associate degree is considered a professional standard among nuclear medicine technologists nationwide, a Certificate in Nuclear Medicine Technology is most commonly awarded by educational programs in Wisconsin. These certificate programs are typically one year in length. However, a two-year Associate’s of Science in Radiology and a three-year Bachelor of Science Degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology are also available.

Of course, no two programs are exactly alike therefore the required academic credits needed to graduate will vary between programs. However, all students can expect program curriculums to specifically instruct in relevant topics in nuclear medicine technology. Some common courses found in these educational programs include: Radiographic Imaging, Immunology for the Nuclear Medicine Technologist, Nuclear Medicine Quality Control, Radiation Protection and Biology, Cross-Sectional Anatomy, Application of Radionuclides to Medicine, and Nuclear Radiation Physics and Instrumentation. All nuclear medicine technology programs in Wisconsin will prepare students to qualify for national certification (Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board) or registration (American Registry of Radiology Technologists) examinations.
