What do Nuclear Pharmacists do?
Nuclear pharmacists, also known as radiopharmacists, specialize in preparing, dispensing, and controlling radioactive drugs (radiopharmaceuticals) used in nuclear medicine procedures.
Nuclear pharmacists play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and effective use of radiopharmaceuticals in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Nuclear pharmacy is a highly specialized field requiring additional training and certification beyond a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree.
The work involves handling radioactive materials, which necessitate strict safety precautions and radiation protection measures.
What they so
Compounding and Dispensing: Prepare radiopharmaceuticals by compounding radioactive isotopes with pharmaceutical components.
Quality Control: Ensure the safety and efficacy of radiopharmaceuticals through rigorous quality checks and adherence to radiation safety protocols.
Patient Care: Provide counseling to patients on the use and potential side effects of radiopharmaceuticals.
Research and Development: Participate in research activities related to nuclear pharmacy, including the development of new radiopharmaceuticals and the improvement of treatment methods.
Regulatory Compliance: Adhere to strict regulations governing the handling and use of radioactive materials.
Environment
Nuclear pharmacists typically work in atomic pharmacies within hospitals, medical centers, or research institutions. They may also collaborate with nuclear medicine physicians, technicians, and other healthcare professionals.
