Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology

Welcome to the Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology Web site. Founded in 1983, ARRO represents radiation oncology residents in the United States. The objectives of ARRO are to formalize resident input into professional organizations affecting radiation oncology residents, to disseminate information and to foster communication among residents. The governing body of ARRO is an Executive Committee consisting of three junior and three senior radiation oncology residents. Membership is free and automatic to all residents and clinical fellows in accredited radiation oncology programs in the U.S.

This site is designed to provide students, residents and other members of the radiation oncology community with useful resources, information and important links.

Web site plan

With the help of ASTRO, we have completed the first phase in a complete redesign of the ARRO Web site. We have included timely and useful information for residents in radiation oncology. The second phase includes the addition of a list of key papers, example cases for boards review and a discussion board. Please let our Web site coordinators know if you have any suggestions or comments about the new site.
