Re: Ask a Health Physicist service

Hi..

Good idea, although I'll bet one of the first questions will be "what 
is a Health Physicist?"

Not many folks outside of the HP profession even know what a Health 
Physicist is.....and certainly from the two words, it's not obvious that 
it has anything to do with radiation protection.

Perhaps we need to think up a better name for ourselves......like 
Radiation Safety Specialist,  Radiation Protection Dude(tte), etc?....any other suggestions?

In fact, I'd guess that outside of nuke plants, most facilities refer 
to their HP's as Radiation Safety Officer, Radiation Safety Tech, 
Radiation Safety something or other.....so it's evident as to what 
that individual's profession is.
