ESMIT & the EANM Young Professionals Council

Supporting and empowering the next generation of nuclear medicine professionals is a core pillar of ESMIT’s educational mission. In close collaboration with the EANM Young Professionals Council (YPC), ESMIT develops and delivers targeted educational initiatives designed to address the specific needs, challenges, and aspirations of early-career professionals in nuclear medicine.

This partnership ensures that young professionals are actively involved in shaping high-quality, relevant, and forward-looking educational opportunities, while fostering early engagement with the EANM educational ecosystem.
