History of the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB)

摘要

One of the strengths that has made the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) so successful for the past 43 years is the voluntary dedication of the technologists, physicians, and scientists who have served as members of the board of directors. Since the establishment of the NMTCB in 1977, at least 200 individuals have served as elected members of the NMTCB board. Each of NMTCB’s board members has made significant contributions to the development and advancement of NMTCB’s certification programs. It is also due to the support from our professional organizations, hundreds of item writers, professional staff, and, most of all, the 23,000-plus technologists who are certified by the NMTCB that the NMTCB has been able to enjoy the successes of the past 4 decades. Most technologists look to the NMTCB for their professional entry-level credential and postprimary nuclear medicine credentials, and this enthusiastic acceptance is a tribute to the high professional esteem in which each of these individuals is held.
