The Radiation Therapists of Wisconsin is the state professional organization of radiation therapists in Wisconsin.  The group was formed in 1977 by a handful of radiation therapists.  The first organized educational meeting was held in October of 1977.  The society has been sponsoring two educational conferences each year since then.  Today the society has well over 100 members, including retirees, current practicing radiation therapists, dosimetrists, and students.
