Feedback:

-The program was very well organized and educational.  I learned about the acute and chronic affects of radiation exposure as well as how to manage radiation emergencies.  The program promoted world peace by demonstrating the devastating affects the atomic bomb had on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I plan on lecturing to my colleagues to share my knowledge and experience.

-This course was very unique.  I appreciated the site visits and learning about radiation exposure from experts who have spent years studying it. I will be giving a lecture on what I have learned to our Emergency Medicine residents this fall.
