Our Mission: Connecting Orthopaedic Surgeons
The Slovenian Orthopaedic Society (SOS) was founded in 1993 in the wake of the nation’s independence. It was created on the basis of the former Federal Orthopaedic and Traumatologic Association (JUOT) as a section of the Slovenian Medical Association, under whose patronage it still functions.
The SOS’s mission is to connect and bring together orthopaedic surgeons involved in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, and members are offered educational and organizational support throughout their entire career. Its regular meetings provide an excellent forum for members to exchange new ideas and suggestions in relation to doctrinal and organizational dilemmas, thus forming the basis for inter-centric collaboration.
The online resources provided to members allow them to stay informed as to all the SOA’s activities, while its website provides links to other national and international orthopaedic organizations, as well as other sections of Slovenian Medical Association and their educational, scientific and social events.
Regular SOS Meetings: Providing information on pertinent topics
The SOS organizes expert meetings for its members at least twice a year. These well attended practice-focused events cover the most recent developments in the field, while at the same time Slovene experts and international guest speakers invariably initiate excellent discussions. Members also appreciate the SOA’s arrangement of joint meetings with other professional associations.
SOS Congress: Getting together
Every four years the SOS organizes a Congress in one of Slovenia’s well-known spas or resorts; in a friendly and genial atmosphere, these events bring together the country’s orthopaedic surgeons, foreign guest speakers, delegates from other orthopaedic societies as well as companies and others involved in the sector. Special attention is given to the recognition of work and the achievements of younger fellows and researchers within the community.
