Greg Passmore is a Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Undergraduate Health Professions within the College of Allied Health Sciences at Augusta University. He holds academic appointments in health professions education and clinical physics, and serves in key administrative and institutional roles related to curriculum, research integrity, and radiation safety.
His educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, University of Missouri–Columbia, 1996
- M.S. in Nuclear Engineering, University of Missouri–Columbia, 1987
- B.S. in Biology, Truman State University, 1978
Greg Passmore's research spans two major domains: health science education and clinical nuclear medicine physics. In education, he investigates meaningful learning interventions such as concept mapping, clinical reasoning development, student anxiety, preceptor bias, and curriculum design. In clinical research, he focuses on nuclear cardiology, particularly dual-isotope single acquisition protocols, gamma camera optimization, and collimator material design. His methodological expertise includes non-parametric statistical analysis and survey validation.
The recent publications reflect a consistent interdisciplinary trajectory combining educational innovation with clinical imaging science. His work appears in journals and reports related to nuclear medicine technology, medical education, and cognitive assessment, showing sustained scholarly productivity over the past decade.
His scientific honors include:
- Phi Kappa Phi Membership (2021)
- Outstanding Faculty Member, College of Allied Health Sciences (2018)
- First Place Scientific Abstract, SECSNMMI Annual Meeting (2017)
- First Place Scientific Abstract, SECSNMMI Technologist Section (2014)
- Second Place Scientific Abstract, SNM Technologist Section (2014)
Dr. Passmore actively mentors graduate and undergraduate students in research, particularly in APHS 9300 (Dissertation Research) and NMMT 4620 (Research Design & Statistics). He has served on numerous grant and institutional review panels, including the AU Institutional Review Board (since 1997) and the AU Radiation Safety Committee (as Chair since 2000). He has contributed to curriculum development at departmental, college, and university levels, and has served on promotion and tenure committees. His professional service includes editorial and committee roles with the Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy, and the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board.
He leads the institutional Radiation Safety Committee and is deeply involved in departmental governance through curriculum, peer review, and faculty manual committees. His work integrates academic leadership, educational scholarship, and clinical physics oversight, positioning him as a key figure in health professions education and nuclear medicine safety at Augusta University.
