Your instructor
With over a decade of experience in the field of radiological sciences, I, Rebecca James, have cultivated a profound understanding of the complexities surrounding radiation and its practical applications. My journey has taken me through various roles, from clinical settings where I oversaw medical imaging procedures to research initiatives exploring innovative radiation technologies. This extensive background not only equips me with the technical know-how but also a comprehensive perspective on radiation safety and management.
My passion for education and empowering others has naturally led me to the role of a teacher for the "Radiation Manual" course. It is my personal mission to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world practices. I am deeply committed to fostering a learning environment that promotes critical thinking and encourages students to engage with the material beyond mere memorization. With my steadfast enthusiasm for the subject and dedication to student success, I strive to make the intricate world of radiation both accessible and intriguing for my pupils.
