Happy New Year from the Health Physics Society (HPS) Program Committee! We hope to see you in Bethesda, Maryland in a few weeks for the 53rd HPS Midyear Meeting 26–29 January 2020.

There will be six special sessions at this year's meeting, covering a wide range of topics. On Monday afternoon, the Medical Health Physics Section of the HPS is hosting "Fluoroscopy Operators Credentialing & Privileging," which will include talks about fluoroscopy training content, designing and implementation of training programs, and physician credentialing in fluoroscopy. On Tuesday morning, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements is hosting two special sessions: "Radiation Protection in Medicine: Safety-Related Issues" in the morning and "Radiation Protection in Medicine: Doses, Dosimetry and Low Dose" in the afternoon. See the online program for more information.

The Program Committee Midyear Meeting Task Force has compiled a full technical program with lots of options for continuing education and professional development. The general sessions we have planned include Emergency Planning/Response, Operational Health Physics and Current Events, and Risk Analysis. We're sure you'll find something of interest! See the online program for more information.

Your attendance at the HPS midyear meeting can earn you one continuing education credit (CEC) per contact hour (40 credit maximum) toward your recertification with the American Board of Health Physics. As in recent years, Sandy Konerth is applying for CAMPEP continuing education credits and, if approved, more information will be provided at the meeting.

Be sure to check out the official website of the meeting for additional information. Register today and be sure to reserve a room at the Bethesda North Marriott.
