*During the first semester of classes. Students will join the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI). Once students become a member, they will be able to purchase textbooks from the SNMMI at a reduced cost.

Calculator:  Students will need to purchase a non-programmable scientific calculator. Acceptable models include TI-30Xa and TI-30XIIS.

Personal Device: Students are required to bring a device to class each day that is capable of accessing the Internet – more specifically Canvas. The device can be a laptop or tablet. The device must have a privacy screen attached. The device will be used on a regular basis to take on-line quizzes and participate in other online learning activities.

Smart Phones: Faculty have determined that Smartphones (even larger ones) are too small for program purposes and as such, will not be allowed.

Watch: Students will be required to purchase an analog watch for use at clinical rotations. Smart watches are prohibited while in clinic. Exception: Students are encouraged (not required) to use a smart watch during their pediatric rotation.
