ARO Introduces Four Medical Student Committees

Applied Radiation Oncology is excited to announce the development of four medical student committees to help increase student exposure to radiation oncology and provide publishing-related experience in the field. We look forward to working with this aspiring and talented group for the 2022-2023 school year, focusing on peer reviews, podcasts/webinars, blog and article submissions, and social media engagement.

Special thanks to our dedicated board member, Sarah Hoffe, MD, section head of GI Radiation Oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center for serving as the faculty advisor for the committees.

Please join us in welcoming the new committee members and co-chairs, and stay tuned online and in print for developments surrounding their efforts!
