The Steps to Build your Successful Theranostics Team and Facility
Release: March 31, 2023
Self-paced Online Course
The UEMS EACCME® has accredited this course with 7 CME credits.
COURSE CONTENT
Radionuclide Theranostics is evolving and expanding in the field of nuclear medicine in various clinical settings. Its principle is based on therapeutic interventions after imaging to confirm the presence of a biological target. However, there are several clinical and technical challenges in setting up a successful theranostics team and facility. The common challenges include logistics, supply chain, regulatory issues, and education and training. In general, multidisciplinary approaches in designing and therapeutic administration is essential to achieve the required outcome. The faculty aims to share their experience and discuss the challenges and possible solutions in developing a successful unit.
Please note that this course is a repetition of the Online Course that took place in 2022.

“The course contained a great deal of useful and up-to-date information.”
“A very comprehensive course if you’re interested in creating/re-modelling a theragnostic unit.”
“Upgrading your knowledge is always useful, especially when it comes to your profession. I found this very useful for me as a medical physicist. Since we are planning a new and more sophisticated radionuclide therapy department, I would highly recommend this course to my colleagues from the other areas.”
“The course was held at a high level, and it was very informative and interesting”
“The course gives basic knowledge which covers most of the aspects concerning building a successful radionuclide therapy department.”
