ASEAN Orthopaedic Association Outreach Programmes
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The challenge for any organization is to remain relevant to the needs of its members. As the membership increases in size, and with rapid subspecialty development creating splinter groups that form smaller organisations, the AOA must constantly reinvent itself to continue to serve the needs of its members. Outreach programmes allow existing members to get together for a common and worthwhile cause, and also create a platform for special interest groups to promote their development and cooperation. It is indeed a very good vehicle for the AOA to continue its growth and remain relevant for the years ahead !
