President's Message
President Prof. Po-Quang Chen
My dear friends,
During the 15th Triennial Congress of APOA, I was offically installed as the President of APOA 2007-2010. You can imagine that the load will be quite heavy. As the leaders in the Orthopedic fields, may I request you to help me to set up a good basis for strengthening our power for APOA. In 2009, The Combined meeting of Trauma and Infection will also be held in Taiwan.
Within your ability, I urge all of you can encourage our orthopedic surgeons to apply for membership in the APOA and the related subspecialty. The procedures of application will soon released thru APOA Secretariat.
If you have any suggestions, please also let me know.
Yours truly,
Po-Quang Chen, MD.
President, APOA
