postgraduate certificate Radiation Protection in Hospital Radioactive Facilities

Despite the benefits of ionizing radiation in destroying tumor cells, the emergence of new technologies poses additional challenges in terms of radiation protection. Personnel in areas such as Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Oncology and Radiodiagnostics are exposed daily to irradiation that can have detrimental effects on their health. For this reason, it is vital that physicians are properly specialized to handle protective equipment and follow established safety procedures to the letter in order to minimize the different exposures. In this context, TECH is launching this comprehensive program covering the safety protocols to be applied in hospital facilities in the presence of radioactive components. In addition, it is taught 100% online for greater convenience.

Description

You will manage the dosimetric control of exposed professionals and update your knowledge on dose limits through this postgraduate certificate"

International radiation protection regulations are fundamental to ensure uniform practices and safety measures in environments where ionizing radiation is used. In this way, regulations establish dose limits with the purpose of protecting the health of the general population. However, with the advance of technological tools, there are many changes in the recommendations that experts need to be aware of in order to apply them to their clinical practice. In this regard, specialists should keep abreast of the publications of international scientific bodies such as the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation.

In order to help experts learn about the latest trends, TECH will develop a cutting-edge program. Through its agenda, specialists will delve into the international regulations on health protection against ionizing radiation. They will also address specific measures to protect both patients and employees from X-rays. At the same time, the didactic contents will analyze in depth procedures for the calibration and verification of radiation protection instrumentation (among which environmental radiation detectors stand out). The program will also emphasize the creation of structural shielding in medical radioactive facilities, so that graduates will be able to follow the most relevant parameters and perform thickness calculations in an adequate manner.

It should be noted that TECH will use the revolutionary Relearning system to consolidate all these contents. This learning method will focus on the reiteration of the most important concepts, ensuring that students will assimilate them naturally and progressively. The only thing students will need is a device with Internet access to access their materials in a personalized way, without any restrictions and 24 hours a day. In addition, you will have the possibility to download the entire syllabus to store it and visualize it in the future.
