Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

This complementary master's programme aims to prepare doctors to become recognised holders of the specific professional title of specialist doctor in Nuclear Medecine (Ministerial decree of 19.07.1996 published on 10.09.1996).

Retour en début de pageGeneral presentation of the programme

The training course includes full time apprenticeships in recognised services and teaching centres. It lasts for at least five years, (full-time), three years of which consist of foundation studies and two years of higher studies.

Admission

See the general admission requirements

Procédures particulières :

Admission conditions
• The applicant must hold the degree title of Doctor in Medecine or be a Doctor from a member country of the European Union authorising medical practice in Belgium.
• The applicant must be in possession of a document attesting that, at the end of the selection exams, he was retained as a specialist candidate in Nuclear medecine, in a Belgian medical faculty.

The juridical context and practical procedures regarding these selection tests can be obtained from the secretary's office. Degree holders from outside the European Union are only allowed to register on the programme in the context of procuring a university certificate for partially specialised training for the duration of two years (if they are in the process of doing a specialisation in their country of origin) or for an in-depth specialised training course for the duration of one year (if they are already recognised as specialists in their own country).

The Royal Decree of the 30.05.2002, relating to the planning of the medical offer for the public, published on the 14.06.2002, applies to those candidates wishing to obtain the title of Specialist Doctor in Nuclear Medecine (those candidates are thus counted among the general practitioner candidates or specialists in the context of the numerus clausus).

Admission procedures
Applications for admission must be addressed to the academic supervisor. The organisation of the entrance selection tests is arranged in accordance with the calendar and the general examination rules and regulations.

Further to the application of the Royal Decree of 16 March, 1999, at the end of the first two years of training, the candidate will receive an attestation proving that he has successfully accomplished a specific university training course. A thesis, based on the conditions laid down by the Ministerial Decree of 19 July, 1996, will be presented and defended orally. Upon fulfilment of the above-described training requirements, the teaching committee will award the academic title in Nuclear
Medecine.

This title does not replace official recognition by the ministerial validation committee. It attests the successful completion of an academic and scientific study programme in the context of specialised training leading to this validation.
