Radioactive Materials Training
Radiation safety training is required for all Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital (VWCH) radiation workers. Radiation workers include anyone who will be directly handling radioactive materials in a clinical setting.
Radiation Workers working in the VWCH Radiation Oncology Department must complete the “Annual Radiation Safety Training: Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital Radiation Oncology Personnel” online course located in the VUMC Learning Exchange initially before working with radioactive materials and annually thereafter.
Please send assignment requests or questions about radioactive material safety training to radsafety@vumc.org.

Accelerator operators must complete accelerator training requirements, described here.
Radiation Safety Policy and Reference Materials
- The Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital Radiation Safety Manual includes all VWCH radioactive material safety training policies and requirements.
