About the Radiation SIG
The purpose of the Radiation Special Interest Group (RSIG) is to foster knowledge
of its members in the study of radiation toxicology through an exchange of ideas,
resources, and expertise. Areas of interest include biological and health effects
of radiation from an environmental, occupational, or medical origin. Additionally
the RSIG is committed to enhance the role of toxicologists in preparedness and response
to accidental or intentional radiological incidents.
Activities of the SPIG includes:
- Encouraging intellectual discussion among members
- Promote clinical and scientific research in radiation toxicology
- Organizing periodic symposia on radiation at regional and/or national meetings
- Developing mechanisms to disseminate new information relevant to radiation toxicity
- Increase awareness and response capabilities within AAPCC network in a radiological
incident
- Support the development of national surveillance programs to detect radiological
events
- Provide a centralized repository of radiological resources for our members
- Enhance the formation of new partnerships between members and other organizations
that share common interests and goals
