Aware of and determined to address the growing need for radiation protection, 20 Member States in the Latin American and Caribbean region launched a technical cooperation (TC) project in 2014 with the aim of strengthening the national infrastructure related to occupational and medical exposure.

The Post-Graduate Education Courses (PGECs), one of the tools of the IAEA to create national capacities in radiation safety, are a central element of this project.

In a recently conducted interview, Mr Nicolas Ruben, Chief of Education and Training at the Argentina National Regulatory Authority, elaborates the history and purpose of the Post-Graduate Training Course, and encourages professionals in radiation safety to enroll in the course, and capitalize on this valuable learning opportunity.
