Dear Friend:

Thank you for your recent inquiry into the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program here at Amarillo College. Our program started in 1994 and is fully accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology (JRCNMT). Approximately 14 students graduate annually.

The Nuclear Medicine Technology Program combines classroom curriculum with clinical experience at major medical facilities, which have state-of-the-art nuclear medicine departments. Our students have the opportunity to spend time at each affiliate so that clinical skills are learned. Clinical rotations are assigned throughout the program, and the hours assigned vary in number, usually 16-30 clock hours per week.

Nuclear Medicine offers exciting possibilities for those who truly desire a career associated with medical science and a unique position on the medical team. Annual base salaries are ranging from $70,000-$77,000 and does not reflect shift differentials, callback pay, or benefits such as vacation, sick leave, insurance, retirement, etc. Many medical facilities offer sign-on bonuses, as well.

New classes begin once each year with the start of the Fall Semester, and there is limited enrollment determined by the JRCNMT. Students are accepted according to the criteria specified on this website. Nontraditional students may be allowed into the program upon meeting with the program director and agreeing upon a curriculum. 

As Director of the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program, I am eager to accept your online application, and I will get in touch with you personally to discuss your application shortly.
Should you have questions, please feel free to call me at (806) 354-6071.

Sincerely,
Tamra Rocsko M.Ed., ARRT (N), CNMT
Program Director, Nuclear Medicine Technology
