The Radiation Safety Officer verifies that all required documentation of training, experience, and adequate preceptor statements have been submitted for all categories that approval is sought as an Authorized Physician User of radioactive materials or radiation in humans. The Radiation Safety Officer will request additional documentation if necessary. After verifying that all necessary documentation has been submitted, the Radiation Safety Officer forwards the documentation to the members of the Subcommittee for Human Use (SCHU) of the Radioisotope and Radiation Safety Committee (RRSC) for consideration. Additional information may be requested by the members of the SCHU. In order for a physician to be approved as an Authorized Physician User of radioactive materials or radiation in humans in a category of human use, a majority of the members of the SCHU must vote to approve the physician as an Authorized Physician User in that category.
