Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	The purpose of this course is to provide an appropriate level of protection for humans without unduly limiting the beneficial actions giving rise to radiation exposure. Radiation protection is to prevent the occurrence of harmful deterministic effects and to reduce the probability of occurrence of stochastic effects (e.g. cancer and hereditary effects).
Course Content:	Identify the meaning of the word radiation, Explain the electro magnetic spectrum, Identify organisms in our bodies, Identify the most affected tissues from radiation, Dosimeters
