​The Need Beyond Core Talent

Charles M. Washington
MBA, R.T.(T), FASRT, ARRT
Administrator, Radiation Oncology

As practitioners prepare themselves for a productive career in Radiation Oncology practice, the initial focus tends to be on scalable technical expertise. While technical skills are essential to the qualifying for positions, there is more to consider in maintaining and thriving within the field. The concepts of tenacity, perseverance, and grit must be factored into the equation. This lecture will discuss the noncognitive competencies of tenacity, perseverance, and grit as part of the essential preparation points in building a career in Radiation Oncology Practice. Recognition and measurement of the tenacity, perseverance, and grit need will be discussed.

Cancer Mentoring

Jonny Imerman
Chief Executive Officer


Jonny Imerman is the founder of Imerman Angels. While fighting cancer at 26 years old, Jonny had loving support from family and friends, but never met anyone his age who was a cancer survivor. He wanted to talk to someone just like him, someone who truly understood and remembered – someone who had already faced the same type of cancer.

​Today, Imerman Angels provides that gift for cancer fighters. Imerman Angels introduces each cancer fighter to one survivor who is the same age, same gender, and someone who has already faced that particular type of cancer. A cancer survivor would be an angel – walking, talking, living proof to inspire the fighter that he/she can overcome their cancer. This was the beginning of Jonny’s vision.
