Tamer Refaat, Associate Director of Global Oncology at Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center – Loyola University Chicago, shared on LinkedIn:
“I’m deeply honored to receive ALATRO’s Gold Medal of Honor, presented by ALATRO President Dr. Gustavo Sarria Bardales at the 10th ALATRO Congress in Montevideo, Uruguay, in recognition of my career and contributions to the field of Radiation Oncology. Receiving this recognition among friends and colleagues from across Latin America made it especially meaningful.
I’m grateful for the friendships we’ve built through our work in radiation oncology and for how much I’ve learned from colleagues across the region. Thank you to Dr. Sarria and ALATRO for this honor, and to the congress organizers Lacort Medical for such a warm welcome in Montevideo. I look forward to deepening our collaboration in education and research and working together to expand access to high-quality radiation therapy.”
