Surgeons, when asked what they appreciate most about being a member of AOSpine, mention AOSpine’s international network, the camaraderie among colleagues, and great learning opportunities.
For young surgeons, one of the most significant privileges of being an AOSpine Member is the ability to participate in fellowship and mentorship programs. We are therefore delighted to announce that the new AOSpine Fellows Alumni group officially launched at GSC in Milan.
In this AOSpine newsletter issue, you will find information about the Fellows Alumni Group, as well as stories about the journey of the AOSpine mentees, and what they've been up to since the launch of the program in August 2016.
Michael Fehlings also shares his views and insights on working with fellows, what his own mentors taught him, and the advice he would give to a younger surgeon.
The Global Spine Congress (GSC), which was held this past May in Milan, was a huge success. We have returned with many learnings. In this AOSpine newsletter, you will find some highlights from this flagship event.
The next GSC will take place in Singapore from May 2-5, 2018. Abstracts can already be submitted. We kindly invite you to submit yours.
We are pleased to provide an introduction to the AOSpine Knowledge Forum Tumor in this newsletter, and to share with you the winners of the AOSpine European Research Awards.
The Davos Courses in December 2017 are just around the corner. We have worked hard on improving and reworking the educational format of the courses to best suit the needs of our advanced and master's level participants. We hope you will like it and look forward to seeing you in Davos!
Last but not least, we invite you to stay in touch, and to get involved, by sharing your ideas with your AOSpine Member Representative, Alaa Ahmad.
I hope that you find this issue interesting and informative. I look forward to bringing you the next newsletter edition in September 2017.
Best wishes,
Dan Riew
