KASS Magazine
Comments
KASS is up and running. Two successful annual meetings already and gearing forward to the IASCON this year in Kolkata.
Should we sit back on our laurels and be happy with what we have achieved? Nothing wrong with that, but the present lot is an ambitious bunch of youngsters and they will always look to better themselves, and that's the way it should be.
What would be the next step forward? A permanent address, a scientific journal, more academic interactions and providing valuable insights to the youngsters.
We can do all of them if we plan well. The first step towards a journal would be a newsletter. Let's work on it and see where it takes us.
KASS has done well in each of its endeavours, no reason why this should be any different.
All the best, my friends

It gives me immense pleasure to get back to you from the KASS platform.
Over last couple of years KASS has been a very active body with regular clinical meetings, invited lectures, live workshops, interactive sessions etc.
With so many dynamic members bubbling with new ideas and techniques and suggestions, it is only natural that we move on to the next level of academic activity - a publication of our own.
This newsletter, I think, is a small step in the right direction.
Come, join, suggest, contribute, criticise and make it count.

I still remember the days in the last millennium when the interest and infrastructure in this superspeciality branch were scarce. Arthroscopy was regarded as something to be performed by a niche group of people with tunnel vision. No more. We have a balanced mix of enthusiast young brigade, middle-aged consultants with zero ego and experienced seniors who enrich and encourage all.
Expertise fostered infrastructure. Now our members perform world-class surgeries as routine work. In every conference, workshop and webinar hosted by us, we see roomfull of bright, young, eager eyes. Participation goes beyond the boundary of our state. We have the responsibility to match our delivery to their demand.
I am sure KASS will live up to that. The biggest event of Arthroscopy of the country, IASCON, is going to be hosted by us this year. Yet, the pressure of organising that blockbuster didn't shift our academic focus.
One of the evidence is right in front of you, the KASSCOPE. Its the place for exchange of ideas and trends. A new editor for each edition, that's our vision.
