The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) has selected 26 members to receive the ASTRO Fellow (FASTRO) designation. The 2019 class of Fellows were recognized during ASTRO’s 61st Annual Meeting in Chicago.
The ASTRO Fellows program recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of radiation oncology and to the Society through research, education, patient care, and service to the field. Since its inception in 2006, the FASTRO designation has been awarded to 353 of ASTRO’s more than 10,000 members worldwide.
Fellows candidates must be nominated by a current ASTRO Fellow and accompanied by three letters of support from ASTRO members. A committee reviews all nominations and presents the candidates to ASTRO’s Board of Directors for approval.
