Dear National RCA Representatives,   I am pleased to inform you that the 2020 RCA/KAERI Introductory Training Course on Radiation Technology and its Applications will be held on 12 to 23 October 2020, through the internet instead of a face-to-face training in view of the Covid-19 situation.   RCARO, in cooperation with Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), has made every effort to set up the e-learning training course, which aims to introduce technical and practical knowledge regarding radiation application technology to the RCA GPs, further to contribute to promoting peaceful use of Nuclear Energy of the RCA GPs. This two-week-course is comprised of the real time based kick off and closing meetings, 18 recorded lectures, Q & As, exams, etc. Upon receiving nominations from the National RCA Representatives, one or two participants from each GP will be selected to go through the e-learning training course. In this regard, it is cordially requested that you nominate the candidate(s) over again (to be prioritized in case of two candidates) despite your nominations of March this year, tendered for the face-to-face training.   I would deeply appreciate it if you could send us the completed application form no later than 11 September, 2020 to the RCARO by e-mail at rcaapply@rcaro.org or by fax +82 42 864 1626.   The RCARO will provide relevant information for the participants before and during the e-learning training course.

RCA e-Learning Campus began its operation The "RCA e-Learning Campus" has newly been established on the RCA website (http://www.rcaro.org/elearning) and began its operation with a total of 30 e-learning modules on essential knowledge in nuclear medicine. It was conducted as a follow-up initiative of the IAEA TC project, RAS6083 on "Improving patient care and enhancing Government Parties capacity in nuclear medicine programmes in RCA region," with intent to optimize the outputs of the project and provide sustainable education. Over 36 nuclear medicine experts, including the NPCs of RAS6083, participated in the development of the online education modules in specialized areas, namely cardiopulmonary, endocrinology, neurology, neuro-oncology, oncology, physics and theranostics. The RCA e-Learning Campus provides open access to benefit a larger number of nuclear medicine experts, which is expected to contribute to facilitating and strengthening the capabilities of nuclear medicine in the region. * Access: www.rcaro.org/elearning or Quick menu (top right)  > E-learning
