Brucosport 2000 has invited ABA and NVA to lecture in October 2000 . Two of our young fellows, Drs Petr and Petit , will travel to South-Africa and visit Dr. Joe De Beer from October 22 nd till November 1 st . I think they will have a very interesting stay over there . They will be able to present their award winning paper at the University of Cape Town and we expect a report of their journey at our congress of May 2000 . In that respect ABA would like to continue to stimulate young orthopaedic surgeons to lecture during its congresses , since it is worthwhile winning the ABA-award .
ABA is also concerned about the complicated web of accreditation .
We will try to concentrate demands for accreditation concerning foreign congresses on arthroscopy and sports-traumatology . Individual demands for accreditation would be minimised . We hope our members will appreciate this effort . ABA also continues to update regularly its webpage on Internet . We would be delighted by a visit and appreciate constructive criticism .
