Daniel L. Yokell, PharmD, RPh, associate director, Radioactive Drug Regulatory Affairs in the Gordon Center for Medical Imaging and manager of PET Production Chemistry & PET Nuclear Pharmacy Services, has received the 2017 Robert E. Henkin Government Relations Fellowship from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and Education Research Foundation for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. The fellows spend a week with SNMMI staff, visiting Congress, federal agencies and other medical societies where they learn first-hand how the federal legislative and regulatory process impacts nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. Dr. Yokell hopes to use the fellowship to enhance his knowledge of regulatory and government affairs issues to educate stakeholders on the essential role nuclear medicine and molecular imaging plays in patient care.
