Key Points

Current demand for therapies exceeds the number of qualified personnel capable of delivering them, highlighting an urgent supply gap.
The rapid increase in radiopharmaceuticals raises questions about the training methods needed to prepare future physicians for this field.
Evaluations from different jurisdictions provide a comparative perspective on addressing shortages and improving physician preparation.
Consolidating efforts across continents can help establish a broader consensus on training requirements for delivering radiopharmaceutical therapies.

Abstract

The field of radiopharmaceuticals and therapies is currently rapidly increasing. However, there is no consensus about how to address the expected shortage of qualified personnel to deliver such therapies. This commentary gives an overview over the current situation in different exemplary jurisdictions and also tries to show possible paths forward and how to prepare the upcoming physician’s generation for these radiopharmaceutical therapies.
