Invitation

The 5th Combined Meeting of the Japanese and American Societies for Surgery of the Hand will be held on March 26-29, 2011 on the tropical island of Maui.
As you enjoy the scientific aspects of the meeting, revel as well in the tropical splendor of Maui, with its lush natural beauty, grand soft-sand beaches, breathtaking ocean views and an extensive array of activities that beckon, including challenging championship golf courses, water sports, pools and a relaxing spa. The Grand Wailea will be the venue offering elegantly appointed rooms, fine service and a variety of quality restaurants in which to gather with colleagues and family.
The officers and members of both societies hope that members and their spouses, guests and families will attend. We trust this will be an opportunity to renew friendships with old acquaintances and to meet and share experiences with new colleagues. The program format allows registrants the opportunity to share ideas and experiences in a relaxed and productive atmosphere. The meeting will be conducted in English.
A Call for Abstracts will be announced on this website. Members of both Societies should submit their abstracts online. Details for abstract submission will be updated later on.
Your early commitment to attending this meeting will allow us to organize the best program possible. We hope that you will be able to attend what we believe will be a relaxing and rewarding meeting. Please contact the secretariat if you have questions or would like to commit to participate.

Sincerely,

Akio Minami M.D.
