Didactic resident conferences feature lectures given by faculty members covering the principles of clinical nuclear medicine and diagnostic procedures, 核医学、物理和仪器, radiochemistry, radiation biology, theranostics, 以及该领域的新发展和文献的更新. These didactic lectures are intended to both prepare the junior residents for clinical responsibilities and refresh and increase the knowledge of senior residents. Residents are freed up from clinical responsibilities during didactic lectures and clinical conferences.

Our residents also have the opportunity and are encouraged to attend the didactic radiology conferences supported by our outstanding diagnostic radiology residency program held daily at 7:30 am - 9 am.

住院医师积极参与核医学部门的临床会议, attended by residents, fellows, faculty and researchers. There are biweekly resident run case conferences in which residents present the interesting and rare cases they have seen in the clinic. Our clinical conferences are a great opportunity to share advice and teaching points in a collegial environment and include:

• 临床病例随访会议
• PET/CT Case Conference
• Journal Club
• Protocol Review
• 质素评估会议

Residents have the opportunity to attend a multitude of multidisciplinary tumor boards held at The Johns Hopkins Hospital (e.g; lymphoma and neuroendocrine tumor boards), 转化研究会议和院系座谈会.

Residents usually alternate on one-week rotations to gain experience in the various disciplines of nuclear medicine. 轮换包括:住院核医学, 门诊核医学, PET/CT, Nuclear Cardiology, 治疗(放射性碘和肠外给药)和质量控制轮转.

A central goal of clinical training in the nuclear medicine program is to enable the resident to take full responsibility for diagnostic and therapeutic studies performed on his/her service. This involves:

• 评估待回答的临床问题(图表回顾), 个人病史甚至身体检查)
• Evaluating the potential role of radionuclide procedures on the diagnostic process and ensuring that the patient receives the correct study
• Assessing the technical quality of images and attempting to answer the clinical question as completely as possible before discharging the patient from the Nuclear Medicine Division
• 在教师的指导下解读研究结果

最初的几个月, junior residents in the clinic work in tandem with a senior resident and a faculty member under progressively diminishing direct supervision. However, attending faculty members are responsible for supervision based on the experience of the resident and are always available for consultation, 问题和讨论. The experienced resident participates in the training of less-experienced residents as well as of medical students and nuclear medicine technologists, discusses results with referring clinicians and has the opportunity to present interesting/challenging cases to colleagues and faculty at clinical conferences.

质量控制轮岗提供核医学技术专家职责方面的经验, 提供学习放射性示踪剂管理的机会, 图像采集/处理, 图像质量控制和体外程序.

During training, 住院医生会接触到由资深教师进行的研究, other trainees, 研究生和约翰·霍普金斯大学各个专业的其他成员. 我们鼓励学员从事任何能激发他们兴趣的相关研究, 部门内外的合作机会是巨大的.

居民们有机会在全国会议上展示他们的工作, such as the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
