CAMRT has partnered with the American Society of Radiologic Technologists to identify a speaker for their events. The speaker is selected through a competitive process from among the CAMRT membership.
The submission deadline for the 2024 events is October 31, 2023.
ASRT Radiation Therapy Conference
The CAMRT collaborates with the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) to provide a speaker for ASRT’s annual radiation therapy conference. The conference takes place in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).
The speaker is selected through a competitive process from among the CAMRT membership. Interested CAMRT members are annually invited to submit applications that include:
- An abstract of no more than 200 words that describes the proposed presentation. It should address a topic in the fields of radiation therapy or dosimetry that is advanced, innovative or forward-thinking.
- Objectives for the presentation (separate from the 200 word abstract).
- An outline for the presentation (also separate from the 200 word abstract).
- A CV (up to 3 pages) that includes information about the applicant’s speaking experience.
In submitting a proposal, applicants confirm that they will be available to make this presentation, if selected, on the dates indicated for the conference.
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?
The speaker selected will receive:
