Baltimore-Washington Health Physics Society Certification Review Course

The Baltimore-Washington Chapter of the Health Physics Society will be presenting its annual Health Physics Certification Review Course starting February 4, 1999.

The course is designed for the Health Physicist who plans to take Part I and/or Part II of the ABHP examination. Others may attend the course to study Health Physics. Continuing Education Credit (CEUs) will be available for the course.

Topics to be presented are listed below. Lectures will be presented by experts in the corresponding subject material. Short answer questions similar to the ones in Part I of the ABHP exam will often be provided. Part II questions from previous ABHP exams will be solved and reviewed. Test taking techniques and recommended bibliography are offered as supplemental study topics.

The course includes 51 hours of classroom lectures, handout material for each student, and weekly reading and problem assignments.

Scholarships are available to students who are in need of financial assistance.
