Educating and Empowering Surgeons Worldwide

Education is at the heart of ISAKOS’s mission. Philanthropic support helps remove barriers to learning so surgeons—especially those early in their careers and those practicing in countries with limited resources—can access world-class education.

Your support makes possible:

Traveling fellowships that allow young surgeons to learn directly from global experts
Registration scholarships to attend the ISAKOS Congress
Free and subsidized memberships for students, trainees, and retired surgeons
Global education initiatives including courses, webinars, podcasts, and online learning through Global Link

These investments ensure that knowledge reaches surgeons wherever they practice—so patients everywhere benefit from better care.

A Flexible Approach to Giving

Some donors are inspired to support a specific program. Others prefer to give where the need and opportunity are greatest. Both approaches are meaningful.

An unrestricted gift to ISAKOS allows us to respond to emerging needs, expand access to education, and invest strategically across programs, maximizing impact for surgeons and patients worldwide.

However you choose to give, your support helps ISAKOS advance education, research, and patient care across borders.
