Marks 25 Years for ISAKOS!
It has been 25 years since the formation of ISAKOS. Since then, ISAKOS has grown into an established society of almost 4,000 members representing more than 90 countries. ISAKOS would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our members and supporters over the years. Approximately two hundred and fifty members have been ISAKOS members for 25 years! To commemorate your loyalty to our society, ISAKOS membership certificates now feature a milestone seal during years five, ten, fifteen, twenty, and twenty-five of your membership. Download your membership certificate at any time in myMembership in myISAKOS (isakos.com/myISAKOS/myMembership).
Part of the ISAKOS 25th anniversary celebration is the ISAKOS- ESSKA Regional Meeting in Gothenburg, Sweden in October 2020. Jon Karlsson, Prof. from Sweden will act as the Program Chair in partnership with Magnus Forssblad, MD, PhD of Sweden. These CME-approved regional meetings allow for intimate close- ups with expert faculty in between the educational offerings of ISAKOS Congresses. This two-day meeting will offer insights into clinical challenges and research advancements in the fields of Cartilage & Early Osteoarthritis, Knee, Foot & Ankle, Hip, and Football Injuries. For more information and to register, please visit isakos.com/gothenburg2020.
ISAKOS is also starting off the year with a few new member benefits! ISAKOS has recently partnered with the Arthroscopy Association of America (AANA) to offer ISAKOS members the option to subscribe to online access of Arthroscopy. For USD $65, members interested in adding this subscription can do so in myMembership in myISAKOS. Another benefit recently launched in January was the new ISAKOS Career Center (isakos.com/careercenter)! The online career center is now available to assist those looking to post or search for a job opening, hone their job and/or candidate search skills, identify and work towards career goals, find suitable careers or programs, and boost networking skills in the international orthopaedic community.
Another new initiative that ISAKOS has recently developed is group membership opportunities for regional and national societies. The Colombian Association of Arthroscopic Surgery and Articular Reconstruction (ACCART) has collaborated with ISAKOS to bring nearly 100 new ISAKOS members from Colombia. A big thank you to Dr. Mosquera, ISAKOS BOD Member at Large and ACCART 2nd Vice President, for coordinating this new partnership! ISAKOS hopes to make similar agreements with additional societies in 2020.
Lastly, don’t forget to submit your abstracts for the 2021 ISAKOS Congress in Cape Town, South Africa! The deadline to submit abstracts and apply for awards is September 1, 2020. Fellowship applications are also open until July 1, 2020. Don’t miss the opportunity to join thousands of colleagues and world-renown faculty at the world’s premier orthopaedic meeting.
We look forward to celebrating our milestone anniversary with you in 2020!
