This four week course is intended to offer the practising<br />
radiologist/nuclear physician an opportunity to observe, learn,<br />
perform and discuss procedures in Positron Emission<br />
Tomography (PET). The course will involve the visiting physician<br />
working within the PET department with staff committed to<br />
devoting their time to his/her instruction. The course will cover<br />
some of the background theory as for the<br />
radiopharmacy/radiochemistry course.<br />

Course Code T12<br />
This is a 3 week course for scientists with a pharmacy, chemistry<br />
or physics background wishing to work in a nuclear<br />
medicine/PET department dispensing diagnostic<br />
radiopharmaceuticals at Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)<br />
level. A recognised chemistry, physics or pharmacy tertiary<br />
qualification or equivalent is a prerequisite for this course, which<br />
aims to develop practical and theoretical skills needed for the<br />
operation of a radiopharmacy. The course will consist of<br />
approximately 35 hours of radiochemical and radiopharmaceutical<br />
theory. Students will also spend about 60 hours in Sir Charles<br />
Gairdner Hospital (SCGH) Radiophysics, Radiopharmacy and<br />
Nuclear Medicine departments and train under radiopharmacists<br />
and radiophysicists as they prepare and dispense the routine<br />
radiopharmaceuticals required by the department, as well as carry<br />
out radiation protection activities.<br />
SPECIAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
A degree in pharmacy, chemistry, physics or equivalent is a prerequisite<br />
for this course.<br />
