Resumen
The Professional Master Program in Radiation Technology in Health Sciences (MP-TRCS) of the Nuclear
and Energy Research Institute- IPEN/CNEN is a new program, started in August 2019. It is the only
graduation program in the country to offer two nuclear reactors for educational purposes, for the
development of dissertations, in addition to providing radiopharmaceuticals production in a nuclear
reactor, in linear accelerator for radioisotope production, as well light and lasers applications. In addition
to the infrastructure, the program has multidisciplinary training advisors working in an interdisciplinary
manner who use their vast experience in radiation applied to medicine to guide students in a productive
manner with a high degree of excellence. The MP-TRCS aims to fulfil a growing demand at IPEN/CNEN
from professionals working in hospitals and clinics, using ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. These
students need a more dynamic course directed to the practical professional activities. We have students
from the most diverse areas, such as medical doctors, biomedical doctors working in clinical analyses,
radiotherapy physicists, physiotherapists, dentists specializing in imaging diagnosis and laser, among
others, participating in the front line, who use radiation or assess its impact on their day-to-day routine.
The first students have already begin to present their dissertation. The employability has increased among
students enrolled in the program. These professionals bring their experience to the program, which
together with IPEN's academic structure and advisors, result in skilled students who are finding numerous
career opportunities in the job market.
