Candidates with non-standard training or potential credentialing issues should undergo a credentialing process at the time they apply or are accepted into a Nuclear Medicine program. The process is explained on the Certification Exam Eligibility page.
When trainees/applicants apply to take the ABNM Certification Exam, the Board requires each trainee/applicant to obtain documentation from their Program Director(s) as outlined below.
NOTE: DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF BELOW LISTED DOCUMENTATION IS JULY 15TH
When a trainee/applicant applies to take the ABNM Certification Exam, each trainee is required to request an evaluation from their Nuclear Medicine/Nuclear Radiology Program Director(s).
If a trainee/applicant applies for the ABNM Certification Exam prior to the completion of Nuclear Medicine (NM) training, the ABNM will email the Program Director requesting confirmation of date for successful completion of NM training.
NM training must be completed by December 31st of the exam year. If the ABNM is unable to obtain confirmation of successful completion of NM training by December 31st, the exam results will not be disclosed and will become null and void.
The certificate does not confer on any person legal qualifications, privileges, or license to practice medicine or the specialty of nuclear medicine. The Board does not purport to interfere with or limit the professional activities of any licensed physician.
