Best of Radiation Oncology
Friday
January 8
Live via Zoom
7:30am - 3:30pm
Leading faculty from across the country will review major updates that have taken place that they feel are important for the learner to be aware of. The clinical tract will be organized by disease subsite, mixed in with pertinent "special topics." The physics tract will focus on specific topics felt to be most timely to this target audience. Participants can register for either tract. The goal of this program is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of providers to highlight advances that will directly impact their practices.
Please mark your calendars for our 6th annual Best of Radiation Oncology conference!
This exciting virtual symposium will highlight the past year’s most significant advancements in the field of Radiation Oncology. Presenters will provide a dynamic, well-rounded, and accessible program that includes lectures, case-based learning, and live Q&A. An additional dedicated physics track is also available.
