A letter is sent to eligible Regular Members each Fall with application information. Fellowship, if approved, is conferred at the following Annual Meeting. Also, Regular Members who are serving in the military or are in the first year of practice are eligible for reduced annual dues.
Dues
- Annual dues are $375.
- Active members who are employed full-time by the military are granted a dues reduction and pay only $175.
- A concession is also made for first-year practicing physicians: dues are $275.
Associate
Members are administrators, radiology technologists, and radiation therapists who are engaged in radiation-oncology practice. Membership is by application. Associate Members receive the American Journal of Clinical Oncology (AJCO) and quarterly newsletters, notice of the ACRO annual meeting, special discounts on the ACRO Practice Management Guide, and can be appointed to the commissions and committees of ACRO but do not have the right to vote or hold elective office.
