2020 FALL TECHNOLOGIST MEETING PROGRAM
Due to COVID-19, we opted to go virtual for the Fall Technologist Meeting, October 23-24, 2020. We want this meeting to provide great educational value with a low impact on your schedule. This meeting will be two hours on Friday evening and four hours Saturday morning and early afternoon.
The SNMMI, through its Verification of Involvement in Continuing Education (VOICE) program, approved this meeting for a maximum of 5.75 continuing education hours (CEHs). VOICE-approved credit is recognized by most licensure states and by the NMTCB and ARRT as Category A credit. Participants received CE credit for those sessions at which they were present a minimum of 80%. Program Chair, Lucky Pantarotto, with the help of SWC-TS leadership, developed an excellent educational program designed for nuclear medicine technologists. We appreciate collaboration with colleagues at the University of New Mexico.
Note: Soon we will be posting speaker presentations (links to video and/or Powerpoint files) here.
