2022 was another busy year for the CRPA Professional Development (PD) Committee, who made sure there were some great training offerings for our members and beyond. We added three new sessions to our online portfolio, which can be access as pay-per-view versions via our Thinkific site. The CRPA PD Committee was also responsible for organizing the Continuing Education Day at ICRP 21+1 in Vancouver in November. Ed Waller made sure we could offer six diverse, great quality sessions by prominent members of the Canadian and international radiation protection and radiation science community.
Donata Chaulk, CRPA’s PD committee chair and PD Portfolio director on the board of directors, recaps the live online sessions offered by the committee last year and highlights the value of members sharing their knowledge and learning from each other.
The year 2020 was one of a kind. The COVID-19 pandemic changed the ways people work and interact. Online platforms supporting communication, work, learning, and teaching became important tools to replace in-person interactions.
Time goes by fast—it seems that the annual general meeting and our free online PD sessions just happened, but as I look at the calendar, I see that these events took place seven weeks ago!
