ACRO Week!

Check out the TAP episode featuring this year's Luther Brady Lecturer @j_luh

That's Thursday 9-10A 🤩

He has a long career advocating for patients with cancer in his community and beyond, really an excellent role model for any RO.

[The Accelerators Podcast ☢️ @AcceleratorsRO]

TAP hosts the first ever radiation oncology political debate!

President-Elect candidates Drs. Chris Jahraus, Bill Noyes, and Tarita Thomas join the show to discuss Simul's provocative questions.

ACRO's role in RO, MD supervision, accreditation and protons in ROCR, and PPS!

[The Accelerators Podcast ☢️ @AcceleratorsRO]

It's been almost 2 years since we last discussed LDRT!

We are so back 😝

@KoneruMd and @DrChowdharyMD join TAP for an LDRT OA reup.

We discuss their ASTRO 24 panel, new educational resources, and how to build your LDRT practice.

[Cameron Tharp, MPH, RT(T) @cameronatharp]

The boys are back and more motivated than ever!! I’m excited for the content we’re developing. Also the ‘Less Radical’ podcast by Dr. Wentworth is excellent and I’m currently binging

[The Accelerators Podcast ☢️ @AcceleratorsRO]

TAP is back in 2025! 🥳🎉

We hosted Rad Onc, author, and podcaster Dr. Stacy Wentworth to discuss how physicians develop a voice outside the mainstream.

A topic near and dear to our hearts ♥️

Number 2 of @AcceleratorsRO 2024

Simul and I discuss critique versus negativity and why he left social media.

Since then, people have left to Bluesky and Simul started a substack.

Glad this ep was popular, we still need to improve the health of discourse in #RadOnc, IMO.

[Matt Spraker @SprakerMDPhD]

Top episode 3 of 5 for @AcceleratorsRO is...

“People Are Claiming That Radiation Is Dead”

We hosted @NiuSanford and @KrishanJethwa in the aftermath of the ESOPEC trial results.

This episode was a gift to #RadOnc, it was awesome.

Happy holidays 🤟♥️🎄🎅

[Matt Spraker @SprakerMDPhD]

Number 4 episode of 2024 was...

“Off of My Napkin and Into the Computer”

We hosted #RadOnc @The_PT_Explorer and dosimetrist/RF specialist Ana Rato to discuss re-irradiation!

Sponsored by @Radformation for the @ESTRO_RT conference.

Great #MedEd topic and discussion.

[Matt Spraker @SprakerMDPhD]

Top 5 @AcceleratorsRO of the year, starting with #5.

We hosted the CTO and CMO of @reflexionmed to talk about SCINTIX biology guided radiotherapy for bone and lung metastases.

Great discussion around this machine!

Sam and Sean are good career role models for #RadOnc, too.

[Matt Spraker @SprakerMDPhD]

[Cameron Tharp, MPH, RT(T) @cameronatharp]

A must-listen episode. Dr. Abrams was the perfect guest, Simul and Matt were excellent hosts, and I learned so much.

Will probably be listening again today! If you listened too, let us know what you think!

[The Accelerators Podcast ☢️ @AcceleratorsRO]

Hope you ready for the next episode! 🎵🎵🎵

TAP hosts Dr. Donald Abrams, medical and integrative oncologist, to discuss medical marijuana and cannabinoids.

We cover history/regulations, indications, formulations, and misinformation.

Hey Hey Hey Hey!
