In 1972, UNM opened the world’s first centralized radiopharmacy. Licensed by the New Mexico Board of Pharmacy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, it was the first pharmacy to dispense patient-ready radiopharmaceuticals on a prescription basis.
This innovative program spawned an industry that now includes more than 400 radiopharmacies in the U.S. and 600 worldwide. These specialized pharmacies have enhanced nuclear medicine by ensuring patients have access to uniform, high-quality, time-sensitive and cost-effective radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic imaging and therapy.
Today UNM continues to provide clinical radiopharmaceutical goods and services to hospitals and clinics throughout New Mexico.
