Baltimore’s Inner Harbor offers a multitude of cultural activities and entertainment; from there you can take a water taxi to one of the many trendy neighborhoods around Baltimore.

The University of Maryland is an innovator in the field of Radiation Oncology, working closely with vendors to develop new technologies. At the University of Maryland Medical System research and innovation go hand-in-hand with serving the clinical needs of our patients.
