The College of Pharmacy started the Nuclear Pharmacy in the Spring of 1977 in the basement of the Biomedical Sciences Building on The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Campus in Oklahoma City. It was staffed by nuclear pharmacists, radiopharmaceutical chemists and students. The operation was modeled after the nuclear pharmacy at the University of Michigan Hospital.
The OU Nuclear Pharmacy has evolved with missions of serving the Nuclear Medicine Departments in the Hospitals in the Greater Metropolitan Oklahoma City area as well as educating nuclear pharmacists and radiopharmaceutical scientists in the College of Pharmacy.
The Nuclear Pharmacy is a modern, state-of-the-art, computerized facility with up-to-date equipment and a full complement of Nuclear Pharmacy staff. The staff consists of nuclear pharmacists, pharmacy interns, technicians and drivers.
