At first I was completely overwhelmed because I knew NOTHING about nuclear medicine. Over time it eventually clicks and it all makes sense. Some of my weaker areas were the radiation physics and instrumentation classes. Even today, there are some things that still don't make 100% of sense to me. A strong understanding of anatomy and physiology would be extremely helpful, especially once you start your clinical rotations. Everything else will be taught in the curriculum- imaging procedures, radiopharmacy, etc. I maintain a GPA in the low 3's and I was never a star student. I also believe that great professors can also help and make the curriculum easier to understand. I wish you luck!
