About SATRO®

SATRO®, a 501(c) (6) not-for-profit organization (56-2133609), was formed in 1999 to provide radiation therapy staff from southern states with an opportunity to pursue convenient, cost-effective and regionally based education and networking opportunities not otherwise available to them. SATRO® provides you with a forum for the exchange of information and ideas specific to the business of radiation oncology.

Conference registration provides non-vendor staff with a one year membership, including a registration discount on your attendance at the subsequent annual conference. Non-vendor staff are also encouraged to enroll in SATRO chat, a closed, moderated discussion group on Yahoo, primarily focused on radiation oncology coding and billing issues. As a member of SATRO®, you have the opportunity to expand your professional knowledge and to develop valuable peer contacts.

The program theme for our 2007 conference was "Seeking Benchmarks, Applying Best Practices", and our course offerings provided practical sessions specific to some of the various challenges which you face, along with a review of ongoing developments which could affect your day-to-day practice activities.

The program theme for the tenth annual SATRO® conference, May 1-2, 2008, is "Ten Years Strong: A Celebration", noting our 10th year of providing regionally focused continuing education opportunities for radiation therapy staff. Offered for the second time in Orlando, the conference is geared towards the educational needs of the team which makes our specialty successful, including billing, administrative, technical and medical professionals. We particularly encourage those with billing responsibilities to attend, since coding and billing issues are discussed in some depth.

The 2008 SATRO® conference will offer you an opportunity to meet and mingle with other professionals in the field of radiation therapy from throughout the South (and beyond), providing invaluable professional and personal development. To date, over 1.250 individuals have come from 45 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, helping to make our conferences successful.

Come join us, develop new contacts and friendships, benefit from time spent with some of the foremost billing and coding consultants in our field, and enjoy the range of activities which are available to those visiting the Orlando area.
