Catalyst MedTech, a national leader in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, announced the launch of the Catalyst MedTech Nuclear Medicine Technologist Program, a groundbreaking educational initiative developed in collaboration with Westmoreland County Community College. The program is designed to address the severe and growing shortage of trained nuclear medicine technologists across the United States.
"As a company employing nearly 175 nuclear medicine technologists nationwide, we see the impact of the workforce shortage every day," said Martin Shirley, President & CEO of Catalyst MedTech. "It's not enough to recognize the problem—we felt a responsibility to act. This program is our way of investing in the future of the field and the patients we all serve."
The program meets eligibility requirements for national certification exams through NMTCB and ARRT and offers scholarship opportunities to support accessible entry into the profession. It is uniquely branded under Catalyst MedTech and supported by the real-world expertise of technologists working daily across the country.
"Westmoreland County Community College is uniquely positioned to deliver this program to the region and across the country," said Dr. Kristin L. Mallory, President at Westmoreland. "The college has a long history of being able to pivot quickly to meet the demands of the workforce and this is a great example. The healthcare industry, like so many others, is challenged by a shortage of qualified staff. We are very excited to partner on such an important initiative led by Catalyst MedTech."
"We're not just preparing students for a job—we're launching careers that matter," said Michael Czachowski, Program Director. "This is more than a degree. It's a career launchpad led by people who live and breathe nuclear medicine every day."
