What you'll learn

Define what radiation is and how it is used in healthcare settings.
Recall sources of radiation found in healthcare settings.
State and explain the hazards and effects of radiation exposure.
Recall protection methods for healthcare workers who work with radiation.

Description

 Healthcare workers encounter radiation exposure from a wide variety of sources in the course of their daily work — from diagnostic imaging such as x-rays and mammograms to therapeutic radiation used in cancer treatment, nuclear medicine procedures, and radiation sources found in laboratory and pharmaceutical environments. While radiation is an essential tool in modern healthcare, uncontrolled or poorly managed exposure poses serious health risks that can accumulate over time. This course is designed to give healthcare workers a thorough understanding of radiation sources, hazards, and the safe work practices required to protect themselves and their patients in radiation-present environments.
 
 Learners will explore what radiation is, how it is used across different healthcare settings, and the specific sources they are most likely to encounter in their roles. The course covers the hazards and physiological effects of radiation exposure — including both acute and long-term health consequences — and details the exposure limits established to protect workers. A dedicated section on protection methods equips employees with practical strategies for minimizing their radiation dose, including the principles of time, distance, and shielding, as well as the proper use of personal protective equipment and dosimetry devices.
 
 Upon completion, healthcare workers will have the foundational knowledge needed to work safely in radiation-present environments and contribute to a culture of radiation safety within their organization.

Our Story: From Service Members to Service Providers

Evolve eLearning Solutions started in 2003 with a simple observation: compliance training didn’t have to be painful. Founded by veterans of the United States Marine Corps and Navy, we brought a service-first mentality to an industry that often felt like an afterthought.

In the military, training isn’t optional—it’s how you stay mission-ready. We saw organizations struggling with the same challenge: keeping teams trained, compliant, and confident without derailing daily operations. The solutions available were either overpriced, overcomplicated, or both.

So, we built something different. Training that respects people’s time. Support that actually solves problems. Pricing that makes sense for real budgets. No enterprise sales pitches, no feature bloat—just effective compliance training delivered by people who understand what it means to serve.

Two decades later, that approach hasn’t changed. We’ve grown from a handful of courses to a comprehensive library covering OSHA, HIPAA, HR/EEO, and more. But we’re still the same team that picks up the phone, remembers your name, and treats your compliance challenges like they matter—because they do.
