The Asia Pacific Musculoskeletal Society is the peak international multidisciplinary society whose mission is to bring together specialists and practitioners from the Asia Pacific to improve the care of patients with bone and soft tissue tumours. The 10th biennial meeting of the society will be held in Melbourne, Australia from the 9th to the 11th of April, 2014.
The theme of the meeting will be “Driving Multidisciplinary Collaborations” to highlight not only the importance of the multidisciplinary approach to solving treatment and research questions but also how these can be enhanced in the Asia Pacific region through intra- and international collaboration.
The scientific programme developed in conjunction with the Australian Orthopaedic Association, the Australian Sarcoma Group and the Australasian Sarcoma Study Group will include plenary sessions, master classes, free podium presentations, short and sharp presentations and poster presentations.
Experts in pathology, radiology, medical, surgical and radiation oncology, basic and clinical research, nursing and allied health professions from Asia, Oceania, Europe and North America will bring us new ideas, innovations, updates and challenges that promises to make this a memorable meeting.
Melbourne is at its best during autumn, and you will see why Melbourne is the most liveable city in the World. Visit the wineries of the Yarra Valley as the vine leaves turn gold; take an exciting drive down the Great Ocean Road to Lorne and the 12 Apostles; welcome our fairy penguins as they come out of the surf at dusk on Phillip Island; share some of the best coffee in the world made by expert baristas and experience the culture that makes Melbourne one of the most cosmopolitan cities anywhere.
Pencil in this date now and be part of the move to enhance sarcoma care and research in the Asia Pacific region.
Welcome to Melbourne in 2014!!
