Experience in pediatric nuclear medicine is limited and not uniform across residency and pediatric fellowship training programs. At our tertiary care pediatric hospital, emergent nuclear medicine exams performed after hours are currently read by radiologists with expertise in pediatric nuclear medicine. A decision to shift this responsibility to in-house faculty has prompted creation of a continuing medical education (CME) learning module as part of an institutional comprehensive learning management system (LMS). The goal of this module is to train faculty, fellows and residents in the indications, protocols, diagnostic criteria, potential pitfalls and problem-solving techniques when reading emergent pediatric nuclear medicine exams. The purpose of this study is to better understand the volume of nuclear medicine cases on-call and the potential need for a dedicated pediatric nuclear medicine curriculum. Read More
