The Health Physics Society (HPS) Medical Section and Early-Career Professionals Section will be hosting a joint special session at the 70th HPS Annual Meeting, which will be held in Madison, Wisconsin, 13–17 July 2025. The session will be held on a date to be announced and will last four hours, with an expert presentation and a panel discussion.

To kick off the session, a management coach will present on effective communication in the workplace, focusing on:

• Why misunderstandings happen—even when speaking the same language.
• The emotional component of communication and the impact of stress.
• Strategies for managing difficult conversations and workplace feedback.
• Advanced listening skills and the neuroscience behind communication styles.

We encourage HPS members to participate in the management coach's presentation by submitting discussion topics, questions, and concerns related to the session theme. Submissions will be collected via Google Form and reviewed by the board. Reminder emails will be sent in March, April, and May, with the final deadline for submissions in June. Submit your questions and discussion topics here. Even if you don't submit a question in advance, you will still have the opportunity to ask questions during the live session.

Following this engaging talk, we will transition into a panel discussion featuring:

• An early-career representative.
• A mid-career representative.
• A radiation safety officer (RSO).

For any questions or additional information, please reach out to hps.ecp@gmail.com.

We look forward to your participation and a great discussion in Madison!
