Speaker: Howard Sandler, Cedars-Sinai
Howard Sandler: Hi, my name is Howard Sandler. I'm the Chair of Radiation Oncology at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. And I'm also this year's ASTRO president. I'm pleased to be able to deliver the ASTRO presidential address during the Annual Meeting. And I'll be focusing a bit on the theme of this year's meeting, a Targeting Provider Wellness for Exceptional Patient Care. You see what we did there with the word "targeting", of course. What what I'll hope to do in my talk is explore the link, such as there is between excellent provider wellness and excellent patient outcomes. While there's not a huge amount of literature, the connection between physicians who are well and better patient outcomes will be explored. And I'm looking forward to that. I hope to see many of you in Washington DC for this year's Annual Meeting.
