2^nd NATIONAL CONGRESS ON OSTEOARTHRITIS : UPDATE & RESEARCH Society for Osteoarthritis Research

Dear Colleague,

Preparations for OACON 2018 are in full swing. You may kindly recall our commitment to present a scientific program that will be driven by data & experience. Research submissions of any type are welcome. We are also trying to strike a balance between clinical and other forms of research (eg. Basic science, Physiotherapy, Diet, Complementary Medicine etc.) 3 Young Investigator Awards are being made available for young colleagues. Please begin preparing your submission abstract and look around to encourage your colleagues to do the same. If you have an idea/concept for future research that requires collaboration and networking, prepare a short proposal and if accepted by the Scientific Committee, will certainly get a time-slot for presentation. Interdisciplinary interactive sessions, CPCs and debates will be preferred. Invited lectures will preferably cover some kind of translational or clinical research of outstanding merit which eventually has an impact on patient management. Interesting ‘Workshops’ have been planned. Several national & international experts will participate in the conference.Above all, I request you to be an active participant not only during the conference, but right at this stage of preparations.To begin with, avail Early Bird Registrations.

Kindly stay in touch with website: www.rheumatologyindia.org/oacon for further information and update.

With best wishes,
