Individuals: All ACR members who are radiation oncologists or medical physicists in the practice of radiation oncology are members of CARROS; they are also members of their ACR state chapters (based on where they work or practice).
Constituent Organizations: Organizations recognized as chapters of the ACR are considered “constituent” organizations. Other formally organized societies or groups of radiation oncologists that represent a defined geographic area or demographic group are also “constituent” organizations. Constituent organizations have representation on the CARROS Board of Representatives.
