Jobs and New Initiatives in Nuclear Medicine Education

A growing number of nuclear medicine physicians who
are not radiologists are unable to secure employment
after completing their residency training.

Conclusion

Newly graduated nonradiologist nuclear medicine physicians
currently face an increasingly challenging job market.
Possible short-term solutions include acquiring more CT
training or pursuing a conventional radiology residency
program. Possible intermediate-term solutions include developing
a hybrid accelerated radiology residency program, if it
can be approved and established within a few years. For the
long term, however, a combined radiology/nuclear medicine
residency program, ideally yielding expert specialists with
dual certifications, would be the best course for the profession
as a whole as well as a wise choice for those talented
physicians interested in practicing and advancing the dynamic
fields of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging.

They should conduct a survey of 2010 class to see how many got the job by now, say 8 months after graduating.

Their data for 3 years showed majority of graduates got the job within 1 year, even mentioned near 70% got the job before completing the residency, then why worry?
