Overview:

Healthcare providers play an important role in any radiation emergency. Clinicians of all specialties will be responsible for providing care and information to patients in multiple settings from hospitals to community reception centers (CRCs).  It is important for clinicians to develop plans and response capacity for radiation emergencies using practical tools for radiation emergency preparedness. Join subject matter experts as they describe the process flow and stations in a Community Reception Center; identify the unique psychological effects of radiation disasters; and define skills and techniques used when performing psychological first aid in radiation disasters.
