Dear Chinese
American Society of Anesthesiology (CASA) members,
We are
initiating organization of a delegation to participate in
the Chinese Society of Anesthesiology (CSA) annual meeting
of 2007. This meeting will be held in Sept. 2007, Changsha,
Hunan Province, China. We are delighted to announce that the
delegation will be co-headed by Drs. Yunping Li and Yanfu
Shao. Dr. Li is a faculty in a teaching hospital of Harvard
Medical School and she was a graduate of Hunan Xiangya
Medical University. CASA board believes that adding such an
outstanding personal will effectively facilitate the
communication between CSA and CASA delegation. Dr. Shao is a
faculty of cardiothoracic anesthesia at Ohio State
University. As the Chair of The International Affair
Committee of CASA, he has organized and led CASA delegations
that attended CSA annual meeting in 2005 and 2006.
The CASA Board Approval of the delegation to CSA annual
meeting in 2005 requests that a member of the delegation
must be a contributor or a presenter. He or she should
prepare and submit one or more abstracts that are accepted
by the annual meeting. This approval is still applied to the
delegates of this year.
The
requirement of abstracts can be found at Beijing Anesthesia
Association's website:
www.anesthesia.net.cn/zw. Please prepare one abstract
with 1,200 to 1,400 words in English and submitted to Dr. Li
at
Yunpingli@yahoo.com and/or Dr Shao at
shaoyf@pol.net, NO LATER than April 1, 2007. The
deadline set by CSA for submitting all abstracts either from
China or oversea has been changed to the end of April
compared to that of end of May in the past few years.
Therefore, we have to move faster. As usual, our abstracts
will be reviewed, revised/finalized. Intensive diplomatic
work will then be implicated including delivery of the final
version of our abstracts to the members of Academic
Executive Committee of CSA in Beijing and Hunan in early
April, 2007. Those members will pre-review and approve our
abstracts. Accordingly, your abstracts need to be sent to
Drs. Li and Shao before April 2007.
The
CASA delegations have been very successful in 2005 and 2006.
We predict a successful and rewarding academic trip to China
in 2007.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to
contact Dr. Shao at 614-783-6854.
Sincerely,
Guogang Chen, MD
President, CASA |
