Newcomers are paired with Member Hosts who contact the Newcomer prior to the World Congress with an option to extend the collegial relationship for 2 years as an informal mentorship relationship. Once onsite, matched pairs will meet at the Newcomers Orientation & Speed Networking session and then sit together at the Thursday opening session. The Host will introduce the Newcomer to other members over the course of the meeting. Interested hosts and newcomers should register for this program when completing meeting registration. We encourage longstanding ISHRS members to sign-up as hosts. NEWCOMERS PROGRAMDetails at: WWW.25THANNUAL.ORG

Dear Colleagues,We cordially invite you to attend and participate in the 2017 ISHRS World Congress and World Live Surgery Workshop. We hope you will join us in Polanica Zdrój, Poland to observe some of the most advanced surgeons in the world perform surgery in an intimate hospital setting. The program planning is well underway for the World Live Surgery Workshop and the World Congress, and both will have a remarkable scientific program. In Prague, we will be fortunate to have world-renowned hair researchers, scientists, and expert clinicians on faculty with several prominent keynotes. In addition to the World Live Surgery Workshop, there are many offered pre-congress courses so plan your travel accordingly. As always, the Congress provides an excellent venue for networking with your peers and with representatives from industry. We look forward to welcoming you to Polanica Zdrój and Prague!
