Biosketch
After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from MIT, Dr. Citron went to medical school at Wake Forest School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C. She went on to complete an internship in internal medicine, and then completed her residency at The University of Chicago, Department of Radiation and Cellular Oncology, where she served as chief resident. As part of her residency, Dr. Citron completed externships at the Institut Curie in Paris and the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam. Here, she completed additional training in breast cancer treatment, brachytherapy techniques, cone beam CT and proton beam therapy.
After working for two years at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, Dr. Citron joined the faculty of the University of Maryland School of Medicine as Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology. She currently serves as Radiation Oncology Residency Program Co-Director and Medical Director of the Tate Cancer Center at University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center.
