Health Physics is known as the science of radiation protection. It is a profession devoted to the beneficial use of radiation while protecting people and the environment from potential hazards associated with radiation. The Student Branch of the Health Physics Society (HPS) at Purdue University is a student organization dedicated to helping students learn about, and excel in, the practice of radiation protection. It is a student-run organization that welcomes anyone interested in health physics and associated studies. Some fields of interest covered under health physics include:Power & Research reactorsIndustrial radiographyMedical & Research physicsNuclear safety & securityRegulatory enforcementMilitary applicationsNonproliferation studiesOccupational & Environmental safetyLaser management and safetyRadiofrequency safetyMicrowave safetyMagnetic field studiesAnd more… This organization is primarily focused on health and medical physics. However, if you are interested in any of the fields listed above, please check out our organization. Some of the activities we are engaged in include the following:National, Regional, and Local HPS meetingMeeting with professionals in the fieldsReactor and national laboratory toursResearch opportunitiesAnd more
