Hong Kong Orthopedic Forum

I have accomplished the official objectives of my trip to Hong Kong. The Orthopedic Forum held at the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine concluded today. I must say I was very impressed by the overall organization of the event. For one, it was very well organized. All lectures were well prepared and presented by speakers who are more than competent in their fields. The standards that doctors in HK has set for themselves is way higher from any that I have seen before. Indeed, I can see the difference from where we come from and a first world country.

The forum was divided to different sections to cover topics focusing on spine, rehabilitation, trauma, pediatrics and etc. During breaks, we are free to walk around to "patronize" the many companies who have set up booths at the event. As usual, they will also bring in a lot of freebies, mostly pens though. haha There were many new technologies, surgical equipment and laparoscopic equipment showed at the event. I'm not sure if they are new, but I have not seen them. It also seemed that most of the doctors there are sub-specialist. This goes to show that the world has come to a point that everyone s going into sub speciality and we who are to join in the cohort soon should learn so too. Start planning for your subspeciality (After you get into a masters programme) =P
