title: Results of the 1992 association of residents in radiation oncology (ARRO) survey.
abstract: In 1992 the Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology (ARRO) conducted its ninth annual survey of all residents in training. The survey identified perceived strengths and shortcomings of training. Factors influencing the choice of Radiation Oncology as a medical specialty were identified. Residents raised concerns over the adequacy and preparation of training. Factors influencing the decision to enter private practice or academic medicine were also identified. Future surveys are planned to expand this important database.
