Workshops

ARC will deliver four regional workshops as part of the Mars Shot initiative, with the goal of building practical competency that teams can take back to their local environment.


2026 Planned Workshop Schedule (interim)

  • April 2026: Launch fundamentals (referral pathways, staffing model, site readiness)
  • June 2026: Radiopharmaceutical handling, administration workflows, safety
  • September 2026: Imaging, dosimetry, reporting, and multidisciplinary follow-up
  • December 2026: Implementation troubleshooting, reimbursement, sustainability planning



Each workshop is designed to be multidisciplinary and practical, incorporating case-based teaching and hands-on simulation where feasible. 

Inaugural ARC Workshop


April 18, 2026

A full-day, practical workshop designed to increase education and awareness while building theranostics and targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy (TRT) readiness for community-based programs.

What to expect

ARC Workshop #1 is designed to increase education and awareness while combining foundational instruction with hands-on practice and team-based simulation. The content supports sites interested in building or expanding theranostics services, with an emphasis on operational readiness and reliable, repeatable workflows.

  • Morning: foundational lectures + panel on referral pathways and community readiness
  • Afternoon: hands-on rotations (prep/handling, imaging protocols, dosimetry practice)
  • Group simulation: coordinate a case from consult to follow-up, then debrief barriers/opportunities

Materials provided

  • ARC Core Curriculum (print/digital)
  • Sample TRT patient workflow protocols
  • ARC Online Learning Platform access
  • Pre- and post-training assessments
  • Workshop completion certificate (CME/CE credit)


Agenda (high-level)


Morning Session (8:00 AM – 12:00 PM) — Foundational Knowledge

  • Registration & breakfast; welcome and ARC overview
  • Introduction to theranostics — clinical and operational perspectives
  • Radiopharmaceuticals in practice — logistics, safety, and workflow
  • Imaging, dosimetry, and interpretation basics for TRT
  • Panel discussion — referral pathways and community readiness


Afternoon Session (12:00 PM – 5:00 PM) — Hands-On Skills & Simulation

  • Working lunch + interactive case review
  • Breakout rotations: simulated prep/handling, imaging protocol walkthrough, dosimetry practice
  • Group simulation: consult → therapy coordination → follow-up
  • Debrief + wrap-up and next steps (resources, online modules, mentorship)


Detailed schedule and registration link will be sent out and posted here when available.
