The EFORT Internet Portal Content Steering Group, explores ways to advance EFORT surgeon education via state-of-the-art internet video presentations. These presentations allow new, unique and effective ways of exploring scientific progress and demonstrating surgical techniques.

Collaborative efforts are now being undertaken with the Video Journal of Orthopaedics, VJO. As an initial step, we have now begun an internet based study on "streaming video". Three surgical procedures (hand, knee and shoulder) have been carefully selected by the EFORT Internet Portal Content Steering Group and are now temporarily available for free viewing by EFORT members via the EFORT Portal.

Log-in today and don't miss this opportunity to see state-of-art procedures of hand, knee and shoulder presented as Internet Streaming Video.

A critical part of our Internet streaming video study is to document EFORT members interests and needs in regard to streaming video. Thus we kindly ask you to complete the survey which you find prior to the videos.

The congress is coming - soon! You might have questions and would like to receive effective answers as soon as possible. Therefore we invite you to take note of our "top contact list" which will lead you directly to the person in charge for your specific question.
