Dear
Colleague,
Preparations for IRACON 2008 are in full swing. You
may kindly recall my commitment to present a scientific
program that will be driven by Indian data & Experience
and "Cause of the Young Rheumatologist". This
can only happen if we all work towards this common goal.
Research submissions of any type are welcome. I re-affirm
that all research submissions will have a poster &
stage presentation. Depending upon time constraints
there may be a peer review. I am also trying to strike
a balance between clinical and other forms of research
(eg. Laboratory driven, immunogenetics etc.). Even recognition/awards
for outstanding presentations will reflect fareness
in this regard. Several Travel Bursaries are being made
available for young colleagues. May I appeal to you
to begin preparing your submission abstract. Please
look around to encourage your colleagues to do the same.
If you have an idea/concept for future research that
requires collaboration and networking, please 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.
However, please send us you comments and suggestions
as soon as possible.
Above all, I request you to be an active participant
not only during the conference, but right at this stage
of preparations.
The registration and other details will follow soon.
Kindly stay in touch with website: www.rheumatologyindia.org
for further information and update.
With best wishes,
Dr Arvind Chopra
Organizing Secretary.
