Welcome from the IATSIC President
Greetings from the International Association for the Surgery of Trauma and Intensive Care (IATSIC)!
It is with great pleasure that we extend a warm welcome to all our members and visitors. We are thrilled to share the latest updates and achievements of our association, as we continue to advance our mission of improving trauma care and intensive care worldwide.
Recently, IATSIC had the honor of participating in the International Surgical Week (ISW) held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Our comprehensive program was met with remarkable success, highlighting a wide array of topics that captivated and engaged our attendees. The robust turnout at each session reflected the strong interest in addressing timely and relevant surgical topics.
A highlight of our participation was the successful conduction of a pre-congress workshop in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). Over four intensive days leading up to the main meeting, a dedicated group of global trauma experts brought nearly four years of work to fruition with the development of a trauma operative course. This course is designed for broad dissemination across resource-constrained regions, and we are excited about the positive impact it will have. Please stay tuned for further developments in this area.
Moreover, IATSIC has undertaken new collaborations with two prominent WHO groups: the Global Alliance for Care of Injuries (GACI) and the Acute Care Action Network (ACAN). These partnerships will further enhance our efforts to improve trauma care on a global scale.
We are also proud to announce the release of the new 6th edition course manual at the ISW meeting. Our local hosts in Malaysia conducted the first course using this new manual post-meeting, marking a significant milestone in our educational efforts. As we look ahead, we are enthusiastic about building on this momentum and continuing to advance our collective goals. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to making these events a resounding success. We look forward to many exciting new engagements and achievements for all IATSIC members over the next year.
For those who may be visiting our site for the first time, let me extend some of the history and mission of our organization. IATSIC is an integrated society within the broader International Society of Surgery (ISS/SIC). IATSIC was established in 1989 and has grown and developed into the most important international professional association in its field. Its membership comprises trauma surgeons, emergency surgeons, acute-care surgeons, trauma operative nurses, anesthesiologists, and intensivists from every corner of the world. Practically any medical doctor, who is a member of ISS/SIC, with an interest in trauma care is eligible to apply for our membership.
We are your preeminent organization for globally engaged collaboration in trauma care. We always welcome your engagement, collaboration, and support. Together, we can make a significant difference in the field of trauma and intensive care.
Sincerely,
David Zonies, MD, MPH
