Agenda*

The SNMMI Therapeutics Conference has been developed to educate nuclear medicine physicians, technologists, hospital administrators, nurses, oncologists, and patients about the “how-to's” of establishing a nuclear medicine therapy program in their institution. This meeting will reach an audience that does not normally attend SNMMI meetings and who may not have the knowledge or resources of setting up or providing theranostic agents for their patients.
