(The NRC oversees regulations for hospitals and physicians using radiocative materials in medical treatment.)
Who sits on the ACMUI? Thirteen health care professionals sit on the committee. They include a nuclear medicine physician, a nuclear cardiologist, a medical physicist in nuclear medicine, a medical physicist in radiation therapy, a radiation safety officer, a nuclear pharmacist, and two radiation oncologists. The committee also includes a patients' rights advocate, a Food and Drug Administration representative, an Agreement State representative, a health care administrator, and a diagnostic radiologist.
Members go through a formal nomination and selection process and are appointed to four-year terms. They may serve up to two consecutive terms, for a maximum length of eight years.
The ACMUI holds meetings twice a year at NRC headquarters in Rockville, Md., in additional to several teleconferences a year. Most committee meetings are open to the public and any member of the public may ask to make an oral statement during the meeting.
More information and a meeting schedule can be found on the ACMUI web page.
