Dr. Jarvis receives V Foundation - 2023 Women Scientists Innovation Award for Cancer Research (Translational)

The Translational Research Award will be awarded to investigators who pursue cancer research that moves a novel strategy from the laboratory to a human clinical trial or uses specimens from a clinical trial to develop biomarkers or mechanisms; winners will receive $800,000 in funding over four years. The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded in 1993 by ESPN and the late Jim Valvano, legendary North Carolina State University basketball coach and ESPN commentator. The V Foundation has funded over $310 million in game-changing cancer research grants nationwide through a competitive process strictly supervised by a world-class Scientific Advisory Committee. Because the V Foundation has an endowment to cover administrative expenses, 100% of direct donations are awarded to cancer research and programs. The V team is committed to accelerating Victory Over Cancer®.

Ms. Bethany Marshall appointed to the Medical Dosimetrist Certification Board

Ms. Bethany Marshall, MS, CMD, RTT, has been appointed to the Medical Dosimetrist Certification Board for a 5-year term (2023-2028). The Medical Dosimetry Certification Board (MDCB) was formally incorporated in 1988. The MDCB is the recognized certifying agency for Medical Dosimetry in the United States and administers the Medical Dosimetry Certification Exam. By 1991, the exam was administered annually in 15 test sites in major cities in the United States and Canada. Since 2012, the exam is administered twice annually.

Each of the various disciplines represented by the MDCB board members—Dosimetry, Medical Physics and Radiation Oncology—is an important component in the development of the MDCB Certification Exam. Through their collaboration and the psychometric expertise provided by our test vendor, the MDCB ensures that the exam continues to consistently measure the knowledge and experience of dosimetrists, assuring quality of care and the safety and health of patients. Congratulation, Bethany!!
