Abstract:
Based on the education and work experience in the radiotherapy and radiation protection industries in China and the United States, combined with comprehensive surveys into relevant websites and public materials of American health physics, this review introduces the education system of health physics and the certification system for health physicists in the United States. Furthermore, this paper provides a summary of the current status of academic education in radiation protection, the practical operations of radiation protection in medical institutions, and the staffing related to radiation safety in China. Accordingly, this study offers opinions and suggestions for further improving the disciplinary system of radiation protection in China.
