Abstract

Nuclear medicine (NM) in the United States is experiencing a manpower shortage that is steadily getting worse. It largely derives from inadequate production of well-trained NM physicians. It is different in the rest of the world, where NM is an independent specialty and training is more rigorous. Three suggestions are offered to help reverse the situation: (1) stop radiologists with inadequate training from practicing NM; (2) strengthen NM training programs; and (3) inform medical students of career opportunities in NM. If we do nothing, the rest of the world will move forward, leaving us behind.

美国核医学的未来。
美国的核医学(NM)人才短缺问题日益严重。这主要是由于训练有素的核医学医生培养不足。而世界其他国家的情况则不同,在这些国家,核医学是一个独立的专科,培训更为严格。为扭转这一局面,我们提出了三点建议:(1)阻止训练不足的放射科医生从事 NM 工作;(2)加强 NM 培训计划;(3)向医学生介绍 NM 的就业机会。如果我们什么都不做,世界上的其他国家就会向前迈进,把我们甩在后面。
