Speaker Competitions

Online entry form

The CAMRT collaborates with the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) to provide a speaker for ASRT’s annual radiation therapy conference. The conference takes place in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).

The speaker is selected through a competitive process from among the CAMRT membership. Interested CAMRT members are annually invited to submit applications that include:

• An abstract of no more than 200 words that describes the proposed presentation. It should address a topic in the fields of radiation therapy or dosimetry that is advanced, innovative or forward-thinking.
• Objectives for the presentation (separate from the 200 word abstract).
• An outline for the presentation (also separate from the 200 word abstract).
• A CV (up to 3 pages) that includes information about the applicant’s speaking experience.

In submitting a proposal, applicants confirm that they will be available to make this presentation, if selected, on the dates indicated for the conference.

Applications will be reviewed by a selection panel and will be judged on the following criteria:

• Does the topic address an important current issue in the field of radiation therapy, including dosimetry?
• How relevant is the proposed presentation to an international audience?
• How well does the proposed presentation emphasize the Canadian experience in relation to the topic?
• Do the abstract, objectives and outline demonstrate that the proposed presentation will be impactful?
• What experience does the applicant have making quality presentations?

The speaker selected will receive:

• Economy airfare at the equivalent of Tango-Plus
• Ground transportation to and from airports in the conference city and their home city
• Hotel accommodation for two nights
• A per diem (at standard CAMRT rates) for meals and incidentals for two days
• Registration to the ASRT Therapist Conference, which will include admission to the ASTRO exhibit.
