Two-part training is required to obtain Radiation Worker certification:
It is highly recommended to complete this two-part sequentially.
To maintain Radiation Worker certification, the Radiation Safety Refresher training must be completed annually in Skillsoft.
The CU Medical Anschutz Campus houses various x-ray devices such as the DEXA, the pQCT, and the fluoroscopy x-ray.
If you need training for dosimetry, only x-ray training is required.
To arrange training on any x-ray device, email radtraining@ucdenver.edu
The course covers basic radiation physics, instrumentation, biological effects of ionizing radiation, radiation protection principles and radioactive waste, among other topics.
This is an instructor-led training, offered monthly, reviewing topics from the initial training, plus use and selection of instrumentation, radioactivity calculations, and decay concept. An overview of RAM use in the lab setting is discussed, as well as recommendations for record-keeping.
