We are happy to announce 2025 will continue to be an in-person project-based experience! Applications are to be submitted to Mary Hooey at Mary@secretariatcentral.com.

We’re committed to supporting professional education in radiation medicine and to helping build Radiation Oncology capacity in the healthcare system. Towards this end, CARO has partnered with the Canadian Radiation Oncology Foundation to offer summer studentships that will provide Canadian medical students with Radiation Oncology clinical experience, research opportunities, mentoring, and career counselling.
The studentships, which take place in participating cancer programs across Canada, are open to any student in a Canadian medical school and may be held after completion of the first medical year and before graduation. There will be a competition for funded slots, with academic achievement as the major factor in the awarding of the studentship. CARO’s education committee adjudicates the process for student selection and residency allocation.

Remembering a Cancer Trailblazer and Friend, Dr. Pamela Catton
To those who knew her best, Dr. Pamela Catton was much more than a visionary leader in the medical community. She was courageous and compassionate to those who needed help. She was devoted and fiercely loyal to anyone she considered family. She was outrageous, creative, and fun-loving. But above all, she was totally unique. She loved to go against the grain, she dared to be different, and she lived her life unapologetically true to herself. There could be no words that could properly express the profound sense of loss we feel at her passing.
