Survey-Based Evaluation of the Impact and Effectiveness of a Nuclear Medicine Training Program: An Insight from Graduate Trainees.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundResidency and fellowship training in nuclear medicine aims to equip specialists with diagnostic, technical, clinical, and research skills essential for clinical and academic roles. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a nuclear medicine training program as perceived by former trainees, focusing on mentorship, resources, curriculum content, and professional development.
objectiveThe objective of the study was to evaluate the perceived impact of nuclear medicine training programs on clinical competence, professional development, and career readiness, based on feedback from former trainees.
methodsIn 2024, an online survey was administered to former trainees of the nuclear medicine training program of the University of Ottawa, Canada, across multiple countries, including Canada, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Oman. Responses from the 11 participants assessed satisfaction with mentorship, facilities, off-service rotations, and skill application post-training. Statistical analysis, including analysis of variance (ANOVA), evaluated the program's impact.
resultsThe program received high ratings for overall quality (45% (n=5) excellent, 35% (n=4) very good) and its contribution to professional success (85% (n=9) significantly or very significantly). The program was rated very effective by 65% (n=7) of respondents. Key strengths included hands-on training, access to technology, and diagnostic skill development. Areas for improvement included mentorship consistency, advanced equipment access, and structured leadership training.
conclusionsThe nuclear medicine residency and fellowship program effectively enhances diagnostic and clinical competencies. Enhancing mentorship, technology access, leadership development, and research support will optimize training outcomes.
