The American College of Radiation Oncology is the essential, professional society for success in the day-to-day practice of radiation oncology. Since 1990, ACRO has focused its attention on both the clinical and economic aspects of practicing radiation oncology. As a professional medical society representing a relatively small subspecialty, ACRO has led the effort to ensure appropriate reimbursement for clinical care and has provided services to help its members become better clinicians.
Its mission is to strive to ensure the highest quality care for radiation therapy patients and promote success in the practice of radiation oncology through education, responsible socioeconomic advocacy, and integration of science and technology into clinical practice.
I have intermediate unfavorable Prostrate cancer 4 plus 3 a 7 gleeson score. I was told that my cancer was still inside my Prostrate so I’m choosing to do radiation beam only without ADT, my question is am I making a mistake? I don’t want to risk the side effects of ADT.

Dr. Hopkins did an excellent job presenting all the challenges a new employed physician in community practice is facing. I would like to focus on the fact that an employed physician has little or no say over the staffing model for the department that he/she is essentially responsible for. I truly believe that the job of a successful clinician is to work closely with his staff and his administrators to fully staff his/her center for all the new equipment and techniques he/she wants to implement. In my experience all physicians and particularly the new ones straight out of residency tend to not pay attention to that at all and keep asking for more and more. Then push back like the one Dr. Hopkins described is routine. It would be very nice if the accreditation entities ASTRO/ACRO/ACR pushed for appropriate staffing with the radiation oncologists being the local champions for that.
The fact that a lifetime certificate holder is not at risk of losing their certification is very positive, but how about the significant cost of participation in the MOC? To clarify I'm a therapy physicist and not a radiation oncologist. Thank you!
In order to assist with maintenance of certification with the ABR, ACRO provides discounted registration at our meetings for ACRO members, and our meetings can be attended virtually to obtain CME credits free of charge for all ACRO members and only $99 for non-members.
