Press Release: ARRO honors 40 with Educator of the Year Award

Fairfax, Va., August 25, 2010 - In partnership with the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), the Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology (ARRO) has named 40 educators to be awarded the 2010 Educator of the Year Award.

ARRO sponsors the annual Educator of the Year Award to recognize outstanding teachers and mentors of radiation oncology residents. Residents from all radiation oncology programs were given the opportunity to select one faculty member from their program for the award. Outstanding educators included faculty from physics, biology and the clinic. 

"It is critically important that we recognize those who have made such a positive impact on our training and education in radiation oncology, so that we do not overlook the great value of such faculty," Luqman Dad, M.D., chair of the ARRO Senior Executive Committee, said. "These 40 educators, chosen by their trainees, stand out as the best in their respective residency programs and strongly deserved to be named Educator of the Year."
