Before your Radiation Oncology Residency interview, research ASTRO and other societies that pertain to radiation oncology and cancer care. Highlight that you are ready to immerse yourself and become a member, read their journals, and attend conferences to network and learn during your time as a resident. It's also a great idea to ask the interviewers if they have any recommendations for you. This can start a conversation that will be helpful to you!

"During medical school, I learned the importance of being an avid reader, and I have always had a general thirst for knowledge. I've already looked into joining ASTRO and plan to finalize my membership once I find out I am accepted into a program. I would especially look forward to attending their national conference each year and presenting research down the road as a senior resident."
