OFFICE MESSAGE
¡Bienvenido!
“Bienvenido” means “Welcome” in Spanish. It’s a very fitting word as we embark into 2019 and welcome a new year — a Congress year, in fact! We are only a few months away from the ISAKOS Congress in Cancun, Mexico, and we cannot wait to say, “¡bienvenido a Cancun!” The ISAKOS Program Committee has an exciting agenda lined up for our attendees — 1,500 presentations given by more than 550 presenters, 35 surgical demonstrations, 30 instructional course lectures, 54 symposia...and more! Also, as recently announced, Michael Casale, PhD, will be the Presidential Guest Speaker. Dr. Casale is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research is focused on understanding (1) the biological underpinnings of learning and memory and (2) how to optimize training in order to ensure maximum benefit to the learner. We hope that you will join us in Cancun in May. The registration discount ends March 31st—last chance to register and save!
A welcome is not only a greeting but also can be defined as “accepting with pleasure the occurrence or presence of.” ISAKOS has worked hard to implement opportunities and educational tools that our members would welcome most. The Knee Arthroplasty
Committee has added the new Knee Arthroplasty Fellowship— applications are due by April 1st (isakos.com/Knee-Arthroplasty- Fellowship). The Fellowship will provide an opportunity for two young orthopaedic surgeons, currently working in developing countries, to travel to various medical sites around the world and to be exposed to the techniques of expert surgeons. In other news, Global Link has also welcomed a new look and interface! Global Link is ISAKOS’ online education portal featuring access to the latest research presented at Congresses, resources for standard terminology, definitions, classification and scoring systems, committee projects, newsletter current concepts, and surgical demonstration videos / courses. Global Link now offers a more user and mobile-friendly library of information and knowledge. We invite you to visit the portal at isakos.com/GlobalLink.

Since 2015, Sue has served as the Executive Director of the CHEST Foundation, the charitable foundation of the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST).

CHEST has more than 19,000 members representing more than 100 countries and also holds congresses internationally. Prior to joining CHEST, Sue worked for 15 years in marketing and public relations in large health systems in Indiana and Illinois.
