Ep176 | Specialty Spotlight: Nuclear Medicine

In this series, we are exploring the common and not-so-common specialties in medicine. Nuclear medicine sits at the crossroads of imaging and molecular science, revealing how disease behaves at a cellular level rather than just how it looks. In this episode, we explore how this often-overlooked specialty is shaping diagnosis, guiding therapy, and redefining the future of precision medicine.

Dr. Erica Major is the Assistant Chief of Nuclear Medicine and Site Director of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Education at Edward Hines VA, where she oversees medical student and resident training. She holds multiple leadership positions in the American College of Nuclear Medicine and the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, and is a past member of the ACGME Residency Review Committee. Her primary interest is advancing the field of theranostics, which combines nuclear oncology with personalized cancer therapy.

You can contact Dr. Major at erica.major@va.gov
