of Radiology Nuclear Radiology/PET Fellowship West Virginia University (WVU) is seeking highly qualified applicants for its ACGME accredited one year fellowship program in Nuclear Radiology and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The Mission of WVU is to provide quality programs of instruction, to foster and stimulate research and scholarship, to engage in and encourage other artistic and creative work, and to make University resources accessible to all segments of society through continuing education, extension, and public service activities. The Division of Nuclear Radiology / PET in the Department of Radiology at WVU exists to support this overall mission by attaining excellence in education, training, and provision of Patient Cares in radiological diagnosis and treatment. This structured one year clinical fellowship will prepare the fellow trainee for a high level of success in academic, research, and private practice settings in Nuclear Medicine, including state-of-the-art practice with PET and PET/CT applications for oncologic, metabolic, and other applications currently in use and under development. The fellow trainee will fulfill all requirements for the American Board of Radiology’s Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) in Nuclear Medicine by completing this program. This Division participates in clinical imaging for West Virginia University Hospital (WVUH), the region’s leading tertiary care facility, and collaborates with other clinical and basic science departments in a number of ongoing funded research projects. The WVU Radiology department is a leader in electronic imaging with all examinations in the diagnostic section acquired digitally and accessed via a GE PACs system. The Division maintains a remarkably complete array of equipment resources: a GE Advance PET scanner, one GE High Yield six target cyclotron and a fully equipped radiopharmaceutical/ radiochemistry lab, one Siemens Biograph 16-slice PET/CT imager, three Siemens Dual head Variable Angle Ecam/Esoft systems and two Siemens Single Head gamma cameras, two GE Advantage workstations and a Siemens Esoft workstation for production of CT and MR fused image sets. We offer state-of-the-art Nuclear, Nuclear Therapy and PET imaging capabilities and protocols with increasing volumes in Cardiac and Neuroimaging yearly. The Division at WVU is staffed by six accredited Nuclear technologists and four accredited Nuclear/PET technologists, with an active JRC accredited nuclear medicine technologist education program that is a component of our educational mission. Our fellowship program is affiliated with the ACGME accredited diagnostic radiology residency program at WVU, and the radiology residents help provide night and weekend coverage for the Division’s clinical activity.
