Message from the Club President

     I am very honored to assume the position of President of the Spine Sub-Bureau of the Royal College of Spine and Surgeons of Thailand. This position is for a 2-year term, commencing in October 2012 to October 2024. During this period, as the global community begins to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, activities have been revived, with a focus on on-site participation by members and stakeholders. Regular activities include the annual Operative Spine Course, Basic Spine Course, Fellowship Seminars, Cadaveric Workshops and other sub-conferences. In addition, the members’ participation in overseas meetings has been more focused on onsite meetings than the online meetings that have been necessary for the past 2 to 3 years.

      I would like to invite all members to join the 27th Operative Spine Couse meeting, which will be held from January 17 to 20, 2023 in Chiang Rai Province, to exchange knowledge and experiences in a familiar atmosphere before the COVID-19 outbreak. I and the newly established committee of 44 members will do our best to listen to suggestions and opinions to improve the work of the sub-branches to meet the needs of the majority of members, by distributing to all sectors, strengthening good relationships, and disseminating knowledge and experiences to interested members.

      Members can make suggestions and inquiries through the representatives of the central committee of each institution or by sending an email to the sub-branch. sst@rcost.or.th
