The American Society of Radiologic Technologists has changed the focus and name of its 2008 annual meeting.
The American Society of Radiologic Technologists has changed the focus and name of its 2008 annual meeting.
The new name, the ASRT Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting, reflects the meeting's emphasis on practice issues, according to a release. The general education portion of the meeting will be eliminated. It will be held in Albuquerque, NM, June 13 to 15.
"Trying to combine a continuing education (CE) conference with a governance meeting meant that neither received the proper prominence or attention," said Cynthia Daniels, ASRT board chair. "The new meeting will allow us to focus on the important policy-making work of the house of delegates."
The ASRT will continue to host its annual Radiation Therapy Conference, which has always been a separate meeting from its annual conference.
