A dedicated Trainee Learning program has been developed for radiology and radiation oncology trainees on Friday 7 October 2011.
Each program has been specifically scheduled for the Friday to make it as easy as possible for trainees to attend both the learning day and as much of the ASM as possible. The day consolidates trainee events that historically would have been dispersed throughout the conference, in addition to holding sessions never before held at the ASM.
