NuMeMentor is a digital platform designed to bridge the mentorship gap in the evolving field of nuclear medicine. Rather than leaving students and early-career professionals to seek guidance on their own, NuMeMentor connects them with seasoned professionals who share their professional and personal aspirations—whether in research, clinical practice, advocacy, or emerging technologies. Our goal? To create a generation of empowered, well-connected, and future-ready nuclear medicine professionals. The NuMeMentor initiative was brought to life by Fernando Anleu and Nichole Ozinga, whose vision and dedication have been instrumental in its development. This project was made possible through the support of the SNMMI-TS Launch Pad Grant, which funds innovative projects aimed at advancing nuclear medicine and molecular imaging.
