Have you ever wondered what your past friends and colleagues from Roswell Park are doing these days?

Or maybe you’re looking for a new physician, physicist, therapist, or dosimetrist to add to your department and would like to know who is graduating?

We want your affiliation with Roswell Park to extend long beyond your time here, so we created the Alumni of Radiation Medicine (ARM) group. All former students, residents, faculty, as well as current and former staff, are all automatically members.

ARM activities include:

  • Meeting annually for dinner during ASTRO week
  • Access to the resident educational database
