The speakers, course titles, and times for each presentation are listed on the following pages. On Sunday, July 23, the day before the Annual Meeting, a series of 30 courses will be offered. These courses are divided into 10 topical areas. The Sunday sessions begin early to allow for 3 sections that day, followed by the Hartman Orator lectures. The program begins at 8:00 am and finishes at 3:30 pm, the Hartman Orator lectures will take place from 4:00 - 5:30 pm. These lectures will be completed in time for the Welcome Reception which begins at 6:00 pm.
In addition to the above-mentioned sessions for Sunday, six PEP lectures are scheduled on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons. Routine PEP attendees should note that the times of the mid-week sessions are 12:15-2:15 pm again this year, to be consistent with the revised scheduling of the Annual Meeting. There will be three Thursday afternoon PEP sessions from 2:30 - 4:30 pm.
Registration for each two-hour course is $30. Attendees may register for courses in one topic area or may attend courses in several topic areas. Registration will be limited to 60 attendees (except as noted) per course on a first-come, first-served basis. Those whose registrations are received before the pre-registration deadline will be sent confirmation of their PEP course registration.
In order to further the Society's commitment to the next generation of Health Physicists, students with a current ID card will be admitted free of charge to any sessions which still have space available after the waiting list has been admitted. Student admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis and will only begin 15 minutes after the start of the session to allow for completion of ticket processing.
Continuing Education Credits from the American Academy of Health Physics have been granted for the PEP. The PEP lecture registration fees should be included with registration fees for the Annual Meeting. The PEP registration is included on the Annual Meeting Pre-registration form. Note that due to space limitations, purchase orders are not accepted for these courses. You are not considered registered for a course unles payment is included with your form.
Attendees not present at the starting time of the session cannot be guaranteed a space, as empty spaces will be filled from the waiting list at that time. Spaces left after the waiting list has been admitted may be filled with students. If your duties at the meeting cause you to be late for your lecture (e.g., chairing a session), contact the PEP registration desk so that your name can be placed on the waiver list and your space held. We understand that there are circumstances that will prevent you from being on time, but we do not want to turn people away and have empty seats due to no-shows.
Note: Each course is two (2) hours in length and will earn four (4) continuing education credits.
