Since 2007, the fellowship in hybrid PET at Zurich University Hospital has hosted over 400 fellows. These fellows typically stay for a minimum of four weeks and have their own workstations in the fellows' room, where they can view and interpret the daily hybrid PET cases performed at our hospital.
This setup provides fellows with a realistic environment similar to what they will encounter when reading hybrid PET scans in their own practice. Throughout their fellowship, they are supervised by our experienced hybrid PET readers.
The fully structured fellowship program at Zurich University Hospital follows this daily schedule:
The program accommodates a maximum of 2-6 fellows at a time, aiming to train them to become independent hybrid PET readers. Fellows typically review between 8 and 16 cases per day, allowing them to review between 200 and 400 cases over a four-week period under supervision.
