   CANCELED - Symposium in Reconstructive Surgery Live Courses

   Dear Friends and Colleagues, The 5th Mayo Clinic Chang Gung Symposium in Reconstructive Surgery will take place in 2014 instead of this year 2013. This decision was made to avoid any interference with the World Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery meeting held in Chicago July of 2013. The Mayo Clinic Chang Gung symposium has a Cadaver dissection lab in addition to lectures focused on general reconstruction, reconstructive microsurgery as well as craniofacial surgery. However, despite differences between the world society meeting and the Mayo Clinic Chang Gung Symposium, one fact remains common, both attract a significant international group, both faculty and attendees. In order to not interfere with the World Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery meeting, we have decided to have the next Mayo Clinic Chang Gung Symposium in Reconstructive Surgery in 2014. We will let you know as soon possible when next year’s date is set. Please forgive us, as we did not take this decision lightly. It is because of our commitment to strengthening collaboration amongst centers around the world and because of our friendships and respect for colleagues at WSRM that we made this decision. We greatly appreciate your commitment to this meeting and very much look forward to seeing you soon. We encourage you to attend the World Society of Reconstructive Surgery meeting in Chicago this year as it promises to be a wonderful educational experience.
