Greetings, esteemed members of the Bombay Orthopaedic Society (BOS),
It brings me immense pleasure to unveil the calendar of events for the upcoming year 2024-25. The
BOS is committed to providing an enriching academic experience to all its members and
non-members alike. We are proud to present an array of courses designed to benefit residents,
recent Post Graduates, and seasoned practitioners seeking to enhance their knowledge and refine
their skills. These courses also come with accredited Maharashtra Medical Council credit points.
Our lineup includes our renowned flagship courses, as well as some exciting new additions. The
conveners and executive committee have devoted considerable effort to curate and structure these
courses, ensuring they provide maximum value. We have taken into account the valuable feedback
and suggestions from our esteemed participants in the past.
I am thrilled to announce the launch of a 6-week fellowship program in arthroplasty, a first for the
Bombay Orthopaedic Society. Starting from July 1st, this fellowship offers a unique opportunity to
observe and assist in robotic knee replacements, complex primary cases, revision surgeries, and
participation in saw bone and cadaveric workshops. The fellowship, sponsored by BOS, will be
hosted at Seth GS Medical College & KEM Hospital. Interested candidates are invited to apply to the
secretary, and selection will be based on merit. Details will also be available on the official BOS
website.
Our monthly Clinical Meetings and Master Courses are eagerly anticipated events, held on the first Sundays of every month.
WIROC 2024, our annual meeting in December, will feature a new venue this year. I encourage each of you to mark your calendars and join us in large numbers for this important event.
I urge you to peruse the detailed information on the courses, make your selections, and secure your
bookings well in advance to avoid disappointment. Mumbai, a vibrant city with distinguished experts
in the field, eagerly awaits your presence. May these courses not only enrich your professional
knowledge but also offer a refreshing break from routine, allowing for an academic exploration and a
delightful visit to our city.
I extend my warmest wishes to all for a fruitful learning experience and look forward to our gatherings and courses fostering knowledge-sharing and camaraderie.
Warm regards,
Dr. Mohan Desai
Hon. President,
Bombay Orthopaedic Society
