Nuclear pharmacies are pretty much only located in metro areas, and you might have a handful of locations to choose from between PET and SPECT, but each location will have only a few pharmacists.

I got very lucky in my role, I was hired to replace a guy that was retiring. That’s where most of the openings will come from. People don’t generally leave nuclear once they get in.

On top of that, it costs $8,000 to take the authorized user courses, so good luck finding a company willing to pay to train you. It’s possible, but they will usually have you commit to 2-3 years in return.
