At the 7th EFAS Congress in Vilamoura this month, DJO and EFAS will be proudly introducing the two talented and ambitious young surgeons who have been awarded the 2008 DJO/Aircast European Travelling Fellowship.

Having successfully met all the stringent criteria set by EFAS, Dr Gleb Korbushkin, 35, and Dr Viktar Anosau, 29, have been awarded the opportunity to travel to meet three eminent specialists in their field.

Starting in Porto in Portugal these two winners will spend time with Dr Paulo Amado from Hospital Privado da Boavista, then onto France to meet Professor Curvale Marseille from Hopital de la Conception and finally into Belgium to Dr Thibaut Leemrijse from University Catholique de Louvain.

On their return Dr Korbushkin and Dr Anosau will make  presentation detailing their experiences at the next EFAS Congress.

Dr Korbushkin currently lives in Russia and has been Associate Professor of Chair, Traumatology and Orthopaedics at the Russian State Medical University since 2005. Dr Anosau, from Belarus, is an Orthopaedic Surgeon based at the Medical University in Grodno, Belarus. His main published studies have investigated the dynamic photoplantography examination of children's feet. In 2005 he travelled to Japan as part of his training for a month.

We are delighted to have sponsored this fellowship as we believe it is an excellent opportunity to help develop the careers of young medics by enabling them to gain first hand experience from many different experts. The next Fellowship in 2009 offers an international itinery and is open to EFAS members under 40 years. Anyone interested in learning more about the fellowships should visit www.efas.co.uk.

DJO looks forward to meeting EFAS members in Vilamoura later this month.
