New Year Momentum
It’s a new year—and with that comes opportunity for a fresh start and an energized sense of motivation. We have a lot of exciting things happening with ISAKOS this year! As our members, we hope you seize the chance to participate in the wide variety of ISAKOS educational offerings.
Coming off of the success of the ISAKOS Congress in Shanghai, we are working full steam ahead for the 12TH Biennial Congress in Cancun, Mexico. Call for Abstracts opened on September 1, 2017— the submission deadline is September 1, 2018. We encourage you to submit your abstracts early and to apply for ISAKOS Awards and Fellowships. There is a new award being offered this term—the Paolo Aglietti Knee Arthroplasty Award, in recognition of Professor Aglietti’s numerous contributions to knee surgery as a prolific researcher, teacher and surgeon. Also new this year is the ISAKOS Global Traveling Fellowship. This sports orthopaedic focused Fellowship will provide the opportunity for four surgeons to travel with a godfather to up to six medical centers over two weeks, before attending the ISAKOS Biennial Congress. Visit the ISAKOS website to learn more about these awards and fellowships.
A dozen Surgical Demonstrations from the Shanghai Congress are now available on Global Link, ISAKOS’ online education portal. View the world’s leading surgeons perform and share their techniques and expertise. Surgical Demo online courses are also now available, with pre and post questions as well as a completion certificate. Global Link in itself is in the midst of a review and upgrade. ISAKOS Committees are diligently analyzing Global Link content to ensure our members have access to only the best and most relevant information, in a more user and device friendly format. Stay tuned for more details!
Journal of ISAKOS is also kicking off the new year with an announcement—JISAKOS is now accepting original research! Being that our Society’s journal is only in its third year, it’s a big and exciting step! We invite you to consider submitting your next paper and reach the global orthopaedic community. For more information about JISAKOS or how to submit, please visit jisakos.bmj.com.
The ISAKOS Board of Directors and the Office have welcomed new members recently. Daniel C. Wascher MD, from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, has accepted a position as an ISAKOS Board of Directors Member at Large. He takes the place of Allen Anderson, MD who sadly, passed away last November. A Memoriam for Dr. Anderson can be found on page 18 of this newsletter. The ISAKOS Office also welcomed a new member, Chanel Tilghman, who is in charge of Member Services. Chanel is a graduate of the University of Southern California, can speak Spanish and Korean, and has a passion for theater. Please help us welcome both Dr. Wascher and Chanel to the ISAKOS family!
We hope you find a way to participate in our society this year. Ride the new year momentum, get involved, and help ISAKOS achieve its mission; to advance the worldwide exchange and dissemination of education, research and patient care in arthroscopy, knee surgery and orthopaedic sports medicine. One easy way to do so—enjoy this issue of the ISAKOS Newsletter!
