International Society of Orthopaedic Centers
ISOC
11th ISOC Conference - Santiago, Chile
November 13-16, 2024
The mission of the International Society of Orthopaedic Centers, Ltd. (ISOC) is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and best practices among the premier specialty orthopaedic institutions in the world and to collaborate on patient care, education, and research-based programs to advance improvements in orthopaedic care on a global scale.
While the main focus of ISOC will be the organization of an annual meeting in a host member city, the group will commit each year to support flagship programs in patient care, education, and research. Such programs may include:
• A cross-institutional study to analyze and compare patient pathways
• An international fellowship program for physicians to visit ISOC centers
• Charity mission in host country and/or support for and partnership with international health organizations
