greeting
My name is Shoichi Miyawaki and I have been appointed as the president of the Kyushu Orthodontic Society.
The Kyushu Orthodontic Society was established in 2005, and has been engaged in research presentations and knowledge exchange on orthodontic theory and its clinical applications, and cooperation among members and with related academic societies both domestically and internationally. The aim is to promote the advancement and dissemination of orthodontics in Kyushu, thereby contributing to academic development and improving the oral health of residents.
Currently, this society consists of branches in eight prefectures in Kyushu and five universities in the Kyushu region, and more than 550 members are involved in academic activities such as research, exchanges with domestic and international academic organizations, and community medicine. We contribute to the development of orthodontics through various activities such as contributions.
Regarding academic activities, there were years when academic conferences could not be held due to the influence of COVID-19, but in order to overcome this, IT is being promoted, such as on-demand distribution. In addition, we are also progressing with the introduction of IT in the editorial work of academic journals, which is another important pillar of our business.
In this way, in addition to promoting IT, we will continue to promote academic activities and international exchange, contribute to local medical care, and foster young talent while working to improve operational efficiency by outsourcing administrative tasks to specialized companies. We will continue to push this forward, and we ask for the continued understanding and cooperation of all our members.
