Compassion. It's often a defining quality for students interested in the field of nuclear medicine technology. Most commonly employed by hospitals and imaging clinics to use a scanner to create images of various areas of a patient's body, a nuclear medicine technologist can spend as much time with patients as their doctors—and therefore have as much of an opportunity to reassure and calm patients who are likely undergoing a stressful period in their lives.
All of MTSU's Health Science Pre-Professional Programs require a good amount of shadowing—of following and observing professionals in the field as they go through the daily routine. For many students, this requirement is also the experience that cements their determination to pursue their career of choice. Shadowing allows beginners to see, smell, hear, and feel what happens during a day on the job.
Pre-Scripts is a pre-professional organization for students pursuing careers in the health sciences. The organization brings in local pharmacists, physicians, physical therapists, and other health care professionals, as well as representatives of schools and the armed services, to provide students firsthand insights into the different health science careers and valuable information about applying for health professional schools and programs. Pre-Scripts in also involved in community service projects and organizes trips to professional schools. (The organization meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month.)
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 19 percent growth in the field of nuclear medicine technology during the decade of 2010–2020.
MTSU offers a variety of Pre-Professional Health Science tracks to help put students on a path to a rewarding career.
Students who take a three-year program at MTSU coupled with 12 months in a nuclear medicine technology program approved by the national accrediting agency and by MTSU and who completes all graduation requirements of the University will receive a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Science from MTSU's Department of Chemistry.

The Allied Health Technology concentration is designed for students who expect to enter a professional school for diagnostic medical sonography, nuclear medicine technology, or radiation therapy technology after completing an appropriate pre-professional curriculum.
This concentration leads to an MTSU degree through completion of 120 credit hours at MTSU, or completion of at least 90 course hours, acceptance into a professional school, and successful completion of the professional program (3+1). At least 36 credit hours of junior and senior (3000-4000 level) courses must be completed with an average grade of C (2.00 GPA) or better. With approval of the dean of the college, a student may complete 12 of the last 30 hours at another college or university or by CLEP. For students completing a 3+1 program, a minimum of 21 semester hours of junior and senior (3000-4000 level) courses must be completed at MTSU.
Admission to the MTSU pre-professional program does not assure admission to a professional program. Selection for admission is competitive and is made by the admissions committee of the respective program according to its selection standards.
NOTE: A grade of C or better is required on all transfer credits accepted as part of a major or minor in the Department of Chemistry. Students must have a grade point average of at least 2.00 on courses counting toward a major or minor in any of the department's programs.
Following is a printable, suggested four-year schedule of courses:

3+1 students will earn the B.S. degree after completion of their professional program. Four-year students will need to complete an appropriate number of upper-division and elective credit to earn degree. See advisor for details.
Included in the electives will be the hours necessary for the completion of the required 36 upper-division hours for graduation requirements and the necessary hours to satisfy the 120-hour graduation requirement.
NOTE 1: A student who has a sufficiently high score on the ACT Mathematics test may begin with MATH 1910. If the background in math is weak, MATH 1710 should be taken before MATH 1730.
NOTE 2: A student who has had little or no high school chemistry or is not satisfied with his/her high school chemistry should first take CHEM 1010/CHEM 1011 before taking CHEM 1110/CHEM 1111.
