The CAMRT is again working with the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) to provide a speaker for ASRT’s annual radiation therapy conference. The 2013 conference will take place in Atlanta, on the dates indicated above and in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).
The speaker will be selected through a competitive process from among the CAMRT membership. Interested CAMRT members are invited to submit applications to make this presentation. These applications should include:

Applications will be reviewed by a selection panel and will be judged on the following criteria:
- Does the topic address an important current issue in the field of radiation therapy, including dosimetry?
- How relevant is the proposed presentation to an international audience?
- How well does the proposed presentation emphasize the Canadian experience in relation to the topic?
- Do the abstract, objectives and outline demonstrate that the proposed presentation will be impactful?
- What experience does the applicant have making quality presentations?
