Applied Health Physics – Laboratory Exercises II
Second of two sets of instructor-led laboratory exercises that are part of the new blended Applied Health Physics course
Introduction
ORAU's Professional Training Programs (PTP) is now offering a new way to experience the traditional five-week Applied Health Physics course that is offered at our training facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. We are now offering a blended course that contains both online and in-class training. The lecture materials will be delivered online via self-paced modules and webcasts. The laboratory exercises will be delivered in-class at the ORAU PTP training facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where we will employ safe distancing, smaller lab groups, and disinfection protocols.
This option greatly reduces the on-site presence of the participant and the costs of travel, lodging, and per diem, while presenting all of the great instructional topics and content you have come to expect in the five-week course. The American Academy of Health Physics grants 40 Continuing Education Credits for completion of this course.

Course description
Applied Health Physics - Laboratory Exercises II is the second of two instructor-led laboratory exercises that are part of the new blended Applied Health Physics course. If you are planning to complete the requirements of the blended Applied Health Physics course, this is the final course in the series and follows the three self-paced training modules found in our online training catalog, as well as the one-week Applied Health Physics - Laboratory Exercises I course that is also held at our training facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
The three online courses must be successfully completed and the first set of laboratory exercises before attending the second set of in-person lab exercises. The full requirements of the Applied Health Physics five-week course curriculum (and required order of completion) are listed below:
- Applied Health Physics I – Fundamental Concepts and Detector Technologies
- Operational Health Physics I – Instrumentation Calibration, Preparation, and Use, Radiation in Industry, and External Dosimetry
- Operational Health Physics II – Air Sampling, Internal Dosimetry, Neutrons, Decommissioning, Waste, Non-Ionizing, and Transportation)
- Applied Health Physics – Laboratory Exercises I
- Applied Health Physics – Laboratory Exercises II
Who should attend
Any person needing training in health physics and radiation protection should attend this course. Attendees should have some training in mathematics, including algebra, and have experience using a calculator with scientific functions.
Cost
$1,999 – The tuition includes access to the course materials via the ORAU Learning Management System (LMS).
