Message from Head of the Department:

The practice of medicine is always in a state of flux, and is more so in today's environment of advanced technologies. Nuclear Medicine comprises one of the significant parts of these new ideas and inventions. These advances, however, also require us to modify our vision and take on the challenge of new ideas. This is where our department thrives - in an environment of innovation and transformation. The Nuclear Medicine department in AIIMS, Bhubaneswar, doesn’t have a long history; however, it has achieved significantly on all fronts like patient care, research and education. Currently we have three faculty members. We have started MD Nuclear Medicine course in the year 2021. The MSc Nuclear Medicine Technology course will be started soon. With the available advanced facilities, we hope to attract new talent to our team. Our department prospers because of the dedication and commitment of the team who truly believe in a multidimensional approach to education, research and patient care.

The Department is all set to expand horizons with the upcoming Trauma Block and the up-gradation of the existing emergency block shortly.

The Department stands strong and committed to providing the best care to trauma, medical, and surgical emergencies and excelling in teaching, training, and medical research.
