Three ASRT members will receive up to $4,000 each to attend the educational or professional conference of their choice and cover the registration fee for the conference plus travel and lodging for the recipients who attend in-person events.
The program, which promotes peer-to-peer education and supports professional development in the radiologic technology community, has given more than $96,000 to recipients since the program started granting awards in 2016.
