The syllabus on fundamental radiation protection courses for radiologists in Turkey, (2011-2013)
(IAEA, 2014-12) Zeyrek, C. Tuğrul; Akbıyık, Hayri; TAEK-ANAEM
We aimed to describe the Turkish experience in radiation protection (RP) and communicate our experience in the organization of RP training courses for radiologists. The courses provided theoretical and practical knowledge on RP on the basis of scientific and technical recommendations from The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), The Council Directive 97/43/EURATOM and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Courses were organized by the Ankara Nuclear Research and Training Center (ANAEM), a branch of Turkish Atomic Energy Agency aimed at providing specialized RP education for radiologists, medical doctors, technicians, physicians, and radiation workers. The courses were presented as five-day seminars by a group of instructors composed of a physicist, radiation biologists, RP experts, and medical physicists. The implemented RP training programs were effective and efficient according to the overall assessments obtained by the ANAEM. Similar training programs can be organized for cardiologists and other medical practitioners conducting interventional procedures by institutions and organizations in accordance with the Turkish RP regulations. To this end, we suggest that RP training courses should be accredited and sustained at the national level.
