The Associate in Applied Science Degree Program in Nuclear Medicine Technology prepares students to sit for certification and licensure examinations as medical technologists. They will be prepared to work in hospitals, medical centers, outpatient clinics, imaging facilities, public health institutions, and government and private research institutes. The objectives of the program are to prepare students for entry level positions by teaching them: - The role of the technologist in the field of nuclear medicine
- How to exercise good judgement in assessing and responding to patients’ needs prior to, during, and after procedures in the nuclear medicine department.
- How to evaluate and maintain a quality control program for all instrumentation
Accreditation: The Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology has reviewed the Letter of Intent and Initial Application for Accreditation and has noted all requirements are in order and final review will occur will be summer of 2008.

 Career opportunities for nuclear medicine technologists are very good, with more than 13,000 NMT positions throughout the country. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the demand for certified nuclear medicine technologists will grow faster than average through the year 2010. It has the second largest recognized shortage among allied health professions today. With the growth of the older adult populations and advances in medical technology, demand will likely increase for nuclear medicine diagnostics. 
“Lincoln College of New England is pleased to announce that it has been granted licensure by the Connecticut State Board of Governors for Higher Education to implement an Associate Degree in Applied Science Program in Nuclear Medicine Technology beginning in the Fall of 2006.”
Lynn Alan Brooks
President, Lincoln College of New England
