AI Thread Summary
Essential knowledge for dosimetrists includes understanding radiation principles and dosimetry techniques. Comprehensive resources are not available in a single online location, making it necessary to consult multiple materials. The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) offers published book lists that can guide further study. A broad range of topics is essential for a complete understanding of the field. Continuous learning from various sources is crucial for aspiring dosimetrists.

Does anyone know of any online material where I can learn everything one needs to know to be a dosimetrist? I.e. material on the aspects of raditation that they need to know etc?

Thanks

Everything? No way.

Go to www.ipem.org.uk[/URL] and look at their published book lists to see the sort of things you need to read.

I very much doubt that the entire sphere of dosimetry knowledge is available in one place online.

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
