34 / GENERAL INFORMATION School as outlined in the Admissions section of this Catalog. For additional information, visit the Eglin Air Force Base, or write the Dean, College of Engineering, Uni- versity of Florida. HEALTH PHYSICS AND MEDICAL PHYSICS Two allied interdisciplinary programs, health phys- ics and medical physics, are offered as a cooperative effort of the Departments of Environmental Engineer- ing Sciences and Nuclear Engineering Sciences, Col- lege of Engineering, the Department of Radiology, College of Medicine, and other units of the Univer- sity. Degrees are granted by the-College of Engineer- ing and include Master of Science, Master of Engi- neering, Engineer, and Doctor of Philosophy. Health Physics is the science devoted to protecting man and the environment from the harmful effects of radiation while permitting its beneficial use. Students may seek admission to either the Department of Envi- ronmental Engineering Sciences or the Department of Nuclear Engineering Sciences. The study program in- cludes departmental requirements, common health physics courses and electives to meet a particular em- pha is. Opportunities for research and practical train- ing are available through cooperation with depart- merts in the health sciences, with the University's Division of Environmental Health and Safety, and with industry. The University of Florida is one of twelve in the nation approved for participation in the Department of Energy Health Physics Fellowship Pro- gram. Prospective students are eligible for Institute of Nuclear Power Operations fellowships, Health Phys- ics Society fellowships and numerous research sup- ported assistantships. For additional information con- tact either the Department of Environmental Engi- neering Sciences or the Department of Nuclear Engi- neering Sciences. Medical Physics is concerned with the applications of physical energy concepts and methods to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. Students enroll in the Department of Nuclear Engineering Sci- ences. Formal courses include department core re- quirements, a radiation biology course, a block of medical physics courses taught by Nuclear Engineer- ing Sciences and Department of Radiology faculty and one or more health physics courses. In addition, the program includes a clinical internship in the De- partment of Radiology. Research opportunities and fi- nancial support exist in the form of faculty research and projects related to patient care. Contact the Nu- clear Engineering Sciences Department for further in- formation. OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES The University of Florida is a member of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), a nonprofit educa- tion and research management corporation of 50 col- leges and universities. ORAU, which was established in 1946, conducts programs of research, education, in- formation, and human resource development for a variety of government and private organizations. It makes extensive use of the facilities and resources of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and is particularly interested in three areas: energy, health, and the envi- ronment. Among ORAU's activities are competitive programs to enable undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty members to work on research problems at the research facilities of the United States Department of Energy. Participants are selected by ORAU and the staffs of the facilities participating in the ORAU pro- grams. These include the Oak Ridge National Labora- tory; the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant; the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant; the Atmospheric; Turbu- lence and Diffusion Laboratory in Oak Ridge; the Savannah River Laboratory and Savannah River Ecol- ogy Laboratory in Aiken, South Carolina; the Com- parative Animal Research Laboratory in Oak Ridge; the Puerto Rico Nuclear Research Center; and the En- ergy Research Centers at Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania, and Morgantown, West Virginia. The ORAU Institute for Energy Analysis, the Special Training Division, and the Medical and Health Sci- ences Division are also open to qualified students and faculty members. Undergraduate.-The ORAU Undergraduate Re- search Training Program offers juniors majoring in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics an opportun- ity to spend 10 weeks during the summer working in directed research programs at these sites. Graduate.-The ORAU Laboratory Graduate Partic- ipation Program enables a candidate for an advanced degree, upon completion of all requirements for work-in-residence except research, to work toward completion of a research problem and preparation of the thesis at one of the participating sites. Faculty.-University of Florida faculty members un- der the ORAU Faculty Research Participation Program can go to a Department of Energy facility for varying periods up to three months for advanced study and research. It is also possible to combine a University of Florida faculty development grant with a longer ORAU Faculty Research Participation appointment. Stipends are available. The student stipends are at fixed rates that change from time to time. Faculty stipends are individually negotiated, based upon the current University salary. Information and announcements concerning the ORAU-DOE university-laboratory programs are avail- able in the offices of the Graduate School. Bulletins also may be obtained by writing to the University Pro- grams Office, Oak Ridge Associated Universities, Inc., P. O. Box 117, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37830. Final ar- rangements for research programs must be jointly ap- proved by the Dean for Graduate Studies and Re- search and Oak Ridge Associated Universities. Interested persons should ask for assistance from Dr. F. E. Dunnam (2121 GPA; 392-2263), who serves as the ORAU counselor at the University of Florida.
