AROPA Governing Body

Melissa oversees one of the largest residency programs in Radiation Oncology with a strong commitment to DEI initiatives.

Along with serving as the Program Coordinator with the university and my role with AROPA I also serve on the Quality &Patient Safety Subcommittee

A career in graduate medical education and specifically Radiation Oncology has been as unexpected as it has been rewarding. After 15 years as Program Coordinator here at NYU, words cannot adequately express how thankful I am for the guidance and support that I've received from both my home institution and the AROPA.

I have worked in the GME residency and fellowship programs over the last 18 years, along with other education programs, to ensure that they adhere to all policies and procedures, including the ACGME. My academic interests lie in the barriers and stigma associated with mental health in radiation oncology residency programs.

As the Residency Program Coordinator at Montefiore Medical Center since June 2013, Uduakobong Luke Mark is both diligent in his practice and committed to his profession. He joined the center 12 years ago after many years of serving in different capacities as Research Specialist, Research Analyst, Legislative Advocate Ambassador, and Business Manager with large and well-respected corporate firms.

​

I have worked in education administration since 2009. In my current role, I lead MD Anderson's Radiation Oncology Education and Training enterprise in research training, undergraduate and graduate medical education, continuing medical education, and faculty development. Facilitating programming to train the next generation of radiation oncologists and (physician) scientists and setting the stage for lifelong learning is my passion.

“Cordy”, has worked at UPenn for over 35 years and has graduated over 300 prominent radiation oncologists who are currently practicing in both academic and
private practice settings.  She has served under four departmental Chairmen, five Designated Institutional
Officials and five University Deans.  Beyond mastering the increasingly complex role of program administrator, Cordy has been instrumental in pioneering several innovative education programs including, the joint Radiation Oncology Nuclear Medicine Initiative.

As the Education Program Manager I strive hard to ensure all residents, fellows and medical students are cared for, receive appropriate education, emotional balance and have fun doing it all. I enjoy helping others succeed as well as improving the vision for the Radiation Oncology Department and being a key player in those developments.

I've worked at Rush University Medical Center in the department of Radiation Oncology since 2008. I'm the residency program administrator and the manager of administrative support.

I am a Training Program Administrator with over 10 years’ experience working with residents. Being a member of AROPA is a wonderful sharing of experience and knowledge that has enhanced my leadership in management abilities, communication, interpersonal, administrative and organizational skills, leading me to be more detail-oriented, compassionate, supportive, calm under pressure and being happily successful doing my job.

Julie is the Program Coordinator for the Residency, Ph.D., MS, Postdoctoral Certificate, and undergraduate Purdy Fellowship programs in medical physics at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She has worked at the university since 2002 and has several years of experience developing and managing a variety of graduate medical and educational programming.
