The Health Physics Society (HPS) Professional Development School (PDS) on nonionizing radiation protection will be held 1–4 April 2025 at the Hilton Birmingham at UAB, 808 20th Street South, Birmingham, AL 35205.
Sponsored by the HPS Nonionizing Radiation Section, this is a 3½-day PDS, immediately following the HPS 2025 Workshop, that will cover the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum.
This course provides attendees with an overview of nonionizing radiation protection, including theory, biological effects, instrumentation, hazard assessments, control strategies, exposure standards, and regulations. The agenda is designed to provide a solid foundation of knowledge for individuals who need a clear overview of nonionizing radiation essentials.
It is well suited for the those beginning their career in the nonionizing realm, as well as for the experienced health physicist seeking a refresher. The university, medical, US Department of Energy, US Department of Defense, and industry communities may all benefit from the material being presented. The topics covered in this course include Electromagnetic Theory, DC Fields, EME Fields, Incoherent Light (Infrared, Visible, and UV), and Lasers.
The lead instructors for this program include Ken Barat, CLSO; Don Haes, CHP, CLSO; Dwayne Holcomb, CHP, CLSO; Ramona Gaza, PhD; Fred McWilliams, CHP; and David Sliney, PhD.
