A TAP surprise for #ASTRO25! Our 4th unedited live(ish) episode. We invited @jryckman3, @LauraDoverMD, and Jamie Pawlowski for happy hour and talked about top results from this year's meeting. Available now for your trip back home ♥️

Voting for ACRO officers starts in just over one week…here is my vision for leading ACRO… Growing up in a family of seven, I learned at an early age that it is only by speaking-up that we get our needs met. I am fortunate to have a voice that is easily heard, and today, I am asking that you let me use my voice to lead ACRO and thereby ensure that your voice is heard. Enthusiastic advocacy for our field, and for us as radiation oncologists has characterized my record. As vice-chair of the GREC, I have used my voice to explain the value of radiation oncology in the halls of government in Washington. As ACRO's advisor to the AMA Relative Value Update Committee (RUC), I have clearly articulated the efforts we make and the value we bring, thereby helping ensure our coding and reimbursement is appropriate. As deputy-editor of ACRO's new journal, CURiE, I have fostered compelling publications that speak to the need for fairness in reimbursement. As chair of the ACROPath project, I have endeavored to design a resource clinicians can use to defend a range of appropriate, data-backed care pathways, and not just those deemed desirable by insurers and benefit managers. In each of these efforts, I have elevated your voice as an ACRO member, ensuring that nobody is drowned-out. At times, it seems radiation oncology is under constant threat from ever tightening reimbursement structures, and from encroachment by other disciplines. We need a strong voice leading ACRO to remind those around us of the exceptional value radiation oncology brings to cancer care and beyond. If elected, I will ensure that my voice echoes yours, expressing your concerns and protecting your interests in the process. If our voices are heard, radiation oncology will remain the most technologically exciting and personally rewarding discipline in all of medicine, even as I believe it is today. We have potential to excel beyond our imagination as we serve patients who deserve our best. But, we need a clear voice leading that charge. I ask for your vote, and I promise that if lam elected, your voice will be heard. #YOURVOICE #OURVOICE #ACROVOICE

Can someone explain how this system merits the burden above? Ok, let's look at what is in store for a woman who, in light of this, doesn't want to shape her family planning around these exams. She suffers experiences like these.
