Radiation Emergency Medicine REAC/TS course teaches treatment and care of patients involved in radiological or nuclear incidents

This three-day course is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses and other healthcare providers. First responders, emergency management and public health professionals may also find the course beneficial. The course emphasizes the practical aspects of initial hospital management of irradiated and/or contaminated patients through lectures and hands-on practical exercises.

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), and cutaneous injuries, 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.
