Education
ISAKOS constantly seeks to expand our educational offerings to
best serve our diverse member populations around the world. Our
intention is to reach orthopaedic surgeons around the world, including
areas experiencing rapid expansion such as the Middle East, Africa, Indonesia, and China.
Partnerships
ISAKOS will continue to explore methods of partnering with a variety of sports organizations such as FIFA and the IOC to serve our members as team physicians, but also a diverse population of athletes in need of orthopaedic services.
Awards
ISAKOS continues to invest in Awards and Fellowships. Previous winners have enjoyed fruitful achievements, and without any doubt, they will be the leaders in their countries in the coming future. The future is in the younger generation.... they are the fortune of ISAKOS. For more on ISAKOS Award Winners, please see page 8 of this Newsletter.
Finally, Albert Trillat welcomed in Lyon the first International Knee Society meeting in 1970. We have celebrated the 20th Birthday of ISAKOS in Lyon. The next ISAKOS congress will be in Shanghai, China in June of 2017. We hope you will mark your calendars now and plan to join us in China for another exciting, diverse and educational ISAKOS Congress.
You have understood that as President I want to continue to participate in the achievement of the missions of ISAKOS. How can we fulfill our commitments to our members? I want every member to feel comfortable and happy in the ISAKOS family. The voice of each member matters.
In the next two years, we still need the vivid participation and volunteerism from all of our members, by unifying the strength, sharing the values, and keeping the forward-looking mind-set in heart, to do the right things, to shape a bright future for ISAKOS.
I want to thank YOU as a member of ISAKOS for your enthusiasm, support and confidence as well as my family for its understanding (not only during the past years but also because during the two next years all my energy, all my time will be dedicated to ISAKOS), the OFFICE for their dedication and the new Executive Committee & Presidential line.
