Radioactive Materials Training
Radiation safety training is required for all Vanderbilt Clarksville Hospital (VCH) radiation workers. Radiation workers include anyone who will be directly handling radioactive materials in a clinical setting.
Radiation Workers working in the VCH Radiation Oncology Department must complete the “Brachytherapy Radiation Safety Training for Radiation Oncology” 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 Training
Accelerator operators must complete accelerator training requirements, described here.
Radiation Safety Policy and Reference Materials
- The Vanderbilt Clarksville Hospital Radiation Safety Manual includes all VCH radioactive material safety training policies and requirements.
- The Radiation Safety Reference Manual is a useful resource for individuals working with radioactive material.
