Senior Resident, Department of Orthopaedics, Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences Mandya, INDIA
As a Senior Resident in the Department of Orthopaedics at the Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences in Mandya, India, I recently received a Young Investigator Scholarship award that allowed me to attend the ISAKOS 2019 conference in Cancun, Mexico. It was my privilege and honor to represent my country at an international global arthroscopy platform that provided me with the opportunity to learn about the recent advances in the field and to meet the international faculty.
It was a wonderful experience travelling all the way from India to Cancun, where I had a very pleasant stay and an enriching academic feast at ISAKOS 2019. It was an honor to meet the pioneers in the various fields of orthopaedics from India and around the world, and I very much enjoyed the opportunity to share this experience with the other award winners who had also been selected to attend the meeting.
One particularly memorable session was dedicated to providing young orthopaedic investigators with insights into the field of research and publication, with all attendees receiving a book entitled Basic Methods Handbook for Clinical Orthopaedic Research.
I am very grateful to have had this opportunity and would like to extend my thanks to the ISAKOS organizing committee, the faculty, the delegates, the fellow young investigators, and, last but not least, my alma mater.
