There are many potential changes that could impact the medical physicist and their role in the use of radioactive materials and machines that produce radiation in the practice of medicine. The purpose of this session will be to understanding recent reorganizations at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Food and Drug Administration as they impact the use of radioactive materials and machines that produce radiation in the practice of medicine.
In addition we explore potential legislative changes for the new Congress and recent state based regulatory and legislative changes impacting the practice of medical physics.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will become familiar with key regulation and guidance changes for the use of radioactive materials in medicine that are under consideration.
2. Participants will provide feedback on proposed changes to presenters.
3.Participants will be prepared to facilitate engagement of their facility and colleagues in the ongoing dialogue about changes.
