Reviews from our students
"The class was great and I got even more out of it than I had anticipated. This applies to our job a lot more than any other education about this subject matter that we’ve received." - Fire Department Captain, United States
"The class was very informative and removed fear that was based solely on ignorance. Thank you!" - Emergency/Trauma Nurse, United States
The course focuses on the fundamentals of radiobiology along with the medical care and management of patients involved with radiological and/or nuclear incidents. Topics include radiation physics; radiation detection/measurement/identification; early evaluation and treatment of the acute radiation syndrome (ARS), cutaneous injuries, and contamination control; and mitigating risks to patients, providers, and facilities.
All of these principles are incorporated in a hands-on exercise using live patients with mock injuries and transferable radioactive contamination.
Radiation Emergency Medicine (REM) courses are conducted at our facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
