UT DRO Faculty Honours and Awards

DRO Resident Dr. Kathy Han has been awarded the CARO-Elekta Fellowship for 2012‑13 for her project on Optimizing MRI guided brachytherapy in cervical cancer: target delineation, accessibility and clinical efficacy. This is a very prestigious award which she won in competition with many residents and fellows from across Canada.

Dr. Doug Moseley is this year's recipient of the Colin R. Woolf Award for Excellence in Continuing Education: Excellence in Teaching. This very prestigious honour is awarded by the University of Toronto for "sustained excellence in teaching over a five-year period" to a faculty member who demonstrates "creativity, innovation, style, enthusiasm, commitment, effectiveness and originality" in their Continuing Education contributions. This is the first time that a Department of Radiation Oncology faculty member has been awarded this honour. He will receive his award at the annual Education Achievement Celebration held by the Faculty of Medicine in the spring of this year.
