This year, the Outreach Workshop will aim to give participants a thorough idea of what to expect at an Outreach training course, from what to take, to a demonstration of an outreach lecture and live scan. ISUOG is especially pleased to have Dr Kofi Buah Bosque-Hamilton from our Ghana project join us to tell you what the benfits of ISUOG Outreach training from a trainee perspective. Come and join us on Monday 10 September from 16:00-17:30 in Room 18.

Following very closely on the heels of the Congress, the Mongolia Outreach team will be heading to Ulaanbaatar for ISUOG's first Outreach training course in Asia on 24-28 September. The team will be led by Dr Philippe Jeanty and will be accompanied by Dr Iryna Tsihanenka, representatives of project partners KSUOG (Korean Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology) Profs Jong Kwan Jun, Kwang Jun Kim, Moon-Young Kim, Hye-Sung Won and Ja-Young Kwon. Industry partners Samsung Medison are kindly dontating three systems to the project and will also send Mr Mike Kammermeier to provide additional support to the training team. The trainign will be taking place at the National Centre for Maternal and Children's Health. We wish the team safe travels and a successful course!

We received 145 responses to our latest trainee survey, thank you for your help in taking this. The survey was designed to explore what benefits our trainee members are most attracted to and their thoughts on trainee membership so far. All trainee benefits and services scored highly (5.75-6.22 out of 7). We are looking for ways to increase awareness of the services to trainees and expanding our trainee program further plays an important role in this. So if you are aware of an organisation that would be suitable for our trainee program that is currently not listed, please get in touch!
