Books/Discounts

The ARRO Executive Committee has constructed a list of useful texts for radiation oncology residents. This list is by no means exhaustive, but we do hope it is a helpful starting point. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to email our Web site coordinator. If a new version of a text is expected soon, it is indicated in parentheses.

 

ARRO has negotiated discounts for texts at ecampus.com. Aside from their discount prices, ecampus will feature two radiation oncology related texts every six months. These featured texts will have an additional 15 percent discount and free shipping for ARRO members.

 

To see the list of texts on ecampus.com:

  1. Click on “Visit your institution’s virtual book store” on the left side of the home page.
  2. Scroll down to “National Organizations” and click on "Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology" at the bottom of the list.
  3. Featured books are listed in the sidebar. Ecampus is in the process of updating the featured books to reflect the 2008 update. You may have to click "Find Your Books" to see a particular text.
  4. Click on "Sell Your Books" to receive payment for used texts.
