Abstract :
Medicine is now undertaking a paramount revolution that will alter the nature of healthcare from reactive to proactive. It is
imperative to integrate experimental and computational investigation in order to appreciate complex biological systems in the
era of precision medicine. In light of this revolution, we necessitate to precision medicine means such as systems approaches
(genomics, radiogenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) and also imaging techniques. In addition to
technological issues, the fast growth of precision medicine needs dedicated future leaders with a strong foundation in advanced
genomic medicine, so that these leaders should assimilate personalized medicine into healthcare, and they must attain many
additional management and teaching skills. On other hand, nowadays, universities beyond that primary mission in training
heath workers utilize novel protocols for providing a scientific and competitive atmosphere to identify talented students. The
fully integrated and flourishing assessment (FIFA) challenge promote cross-disciplinary nuclear medicine related sciences
integration within universities. The FIFA challenge could be presented where a place every year active nuclear medicine
discipline students in the worldwide can involve their skills for an award program and all the recognition provided by our
societies. Developing of such program may simplify the inclusion of all fields which are integrated with nuclear medicine and
molecular imaging, entailing integrated molecular, functional and morphological big imaging data generated with various
technologies, integrated therapeutic options, quantitative examinations such as radiomics and radiogenomics and also artificial
intelligence applications.
