Home > Business Operations > Radiation Emergency Medicine

If you are a hospital administrator, a public health government official, or occupational medicine professional at a facility that uses radioactive materials, you want to make sure your staff know their role in the medical management of a radiation emergency.

Learn from those who are among the most knowledgeable in the world. For more than 25 years, ORAU's team of radiation emergency medicine experts have managed the U.S. Department of Energy's Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS). In this role, we have managed the medical response to numerous radiation emergencies worldwide.
