The 66th Annual Congress of The International College of Surgeons Japan Section

The 66th International Surgery Society (ICS) Japan Chapter General Assembly will be held on Saturday, June 26, 2021 in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture. I am very honored to serve as the president of the Society, which has a history of more than 70 years. This is the 10th meeting held in Kyushu and the 5th meeting in Kurume City. In the classroom, Professor Emeritus Akio Kakegawa (36th 1990) and Shiramizuo (50th 2004) are held.

The International Surgery Society has branch offices in 44 countries, and has a general surgical system (digestive surgery, thoracic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, urology, neurosurgery, orthopedics) called “All Women’s Association”. , Plastic Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Oral Surgery, Otolaryngology, Ophthalmology, Anesthesia, etc.), with the major goals of lifelong education and international exchange of doctors with the remarkable progress of medicine. In recent years, Japanese academic societies have been aiming for internationalization, and major academic societies have introduced English programs. From now on, English presentations may become commonplace not only at international conferences but also at domestic conferences. The General Assembly of the Japan Subcommittee is positioned as a “gateway for young doctors to make presentations at academic conferences in English,” and you can also teach how to make presentations in English, such as comments and notes from the English Commentator. We hope that the instructor will use this association as a place for education for young doctors and will actively make presentations and discuss. Many teachers from the Czech subcommittee are scheduled to participate this time, aiming to be an international academic society. In addition, foreign doctors studying in Japan can announce their participation even if they are not members, and the participation fee is exempted, so we welcome many participants.

The 66th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Chapter of the International Society of Surgical Surgery, which was scheduled to be held in June this year, was postponed to January 2021 and was canceled due to schedule reasons. As a result, the 67th Branch General Assembly scheduled to be held in June 2021 will be held as the 66th. As of the end of October 2020, COVID19 infection cannot be predicted to converge, but we are preparing to hold it in June as scheduled. Therefore, we will start accepting submissions for abstracts, and we ask for your support.
