TreatSafely

TreatSafely (aka AQuSI) was born in October 2010. That was the date of our first course on quality and safety held in La Jolla, CA. We've been long standing professional colleagues and close friends since the start of TreatSafely. Our shared goal is to make a difference in improving quality and safety in radiation medicine and, to have fun doing it. They say laughter is the best medicine. We also believe that it is the best way to do great work! We hope you enjoy our site. Please feel free to comment, suggest improvements, or collaborations We look forward to hearing from you!
