Applications Open for ARO Medical Student Committees

Looking to network and gain publishing-related experience in radiation oncology? ARO is seeking applicants for our four Medical Student Committees: First Pass Peer Review, Social Media, Podcasts & Webinars, and Future Content. Accepted students will join our current team of medical students in running the self-regulated committees, which were developed in 2022 to advance student exposure to radiation oncology and provide publishing-related opportunities in the field. Membership typically spans two years, and one year for 4th year medical students. Students may be considered for more than one committee.

Applications -- the deadline has been extended to October 19, 2023.

Faculty Advisor: ARO Editorial Advisory Board Member Sarah Hoffe, MD, Section Head of GI Radiation Oncology, Moffitt Cancer Center
