The Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology (ARRO) hosts a full day of programming created by residents, for residents, grounded in the real questions, challenges and opportunities shaping training and early careers in radiation oncology. The programming reflects resident priorities, blending education, career exploration and meaningful connections with leaders across the field.
Attendees gain practical career insights from peer-driven discussions and mentorship opportunities. Every session is designed to support your growth and help you navigate what’s next as a radiation oncology resident. Explore the schedule below and build a day that equips you with the knowledge, connections and confidence to move forward.
Back by popular demand, the second annual Brachytherapy Workshop for residents will precede regularly scheduled ARRO Day programming on Saturday morning. The workshop will include presentations on brachytherapy for prostate and GYN cancers followed by hands-on learning opportunities.
ARRO is proud to co-sponsor this unique opportunity with ASTRO and ABS and especially thanks our industry partners for their participation: Barrigel; Boston Scientific; Elekta; Siemens Healthineers; and Theragenics. Details on confirmed speakers coming soon!
Join your peers for ARRO Day — where residents come to connect, learn and get inspired. Dive into fan-favorite jobs panels spanning community practice, academia and careers beyond the clinic, then connect directly with leaders and mentors during an interactive Mentorship Meet and Greet.
To round out the afternoon, a newly added panel discussion on all things AI, an inspiring keynote address, and the always anticipated results of the latest Graduating Residents Survey.
