IRPA 2022 Photos: Associate Societies Forum

The 2022 IRPA North American Regional Congress—"Meeting the Challenges in the Practice of Radiation Protection"—was held 21–23 February, in St. Louis, Missouri. The Associate Societies Forum was held on the afternoon of 21 February and included talks by representatives from the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA), Health Physics Society (HPS), Canadian Radiation Protection Association (CRPA), Sociedad Mexicana de Seguridad Radiológica (SMSR), and Pan American Health Organization. The talks were followed by an open forum that provided question-and-answer time with in-person and remote-participant panel members.
