radioactive material training for researchers

["Gross, Karen M.(Health Phys.)" <karen_gross2@merck.com>]

> Hello,
> 
> I work in a pharmaceutical research facility and we have been revising our
> basic radioactive material training course for researchers this past year.
> Although it is much more effective and interesting that what we were
> previously using, there is always the problem of boring the researchers.
> In addition, there is definitely a large portion of training and knowledge
> about working safely with radioactive material that researchers will only
> gain from on-the-job training by experienced researchers.  
> 
> Keeping these two points in mind, I wanted to ask people what types of
> demonstrations they include in their training to keep the researchers'
> attention and to bridge that gap of "book" knowledge and
> "practical/experience" knowledge which will minimize radiation exposures
> and maximize regulatory compliance.
