Welcome to the official website of the Asia Oceania Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine
Dear Colleagues and friends,

First of all, I have to say hello to all physiatrists in Asia and Oceania and thank for electing me as the first president of Asia Oceania Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (AOSPRM). I was a surprising occassion for me to be the President of AOSPRM, however, I will do my best to make this Society a good place for the progress of Physical and Rehabilitation in Asia and Oceania region with your great support.

Asia Oceania region is home to more than half of the world populace and one of the most attractive regions in the world, owing to its rising economy and diversity of its culture and history, implying both challenges and opportunities to the region as a whole. In response to such a change and to better adapt to sustainable development and globalization of economy, cooperation between Asian and Oceania countries become increasingly important. These challenges and opportunities have led us to establish AOSPRM. I strongly believe that AOSPRM will be a forum of collaboration between Asian Oceania academies of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.

The main goals of this society are, as indicated in the BY-LAWS of our society, to encourage and support the development of a comprehensive medical specialist in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine and to provide means to facilitate research activities and communication within Asian Oceania regions. AOSPRM will be devoted to the promotion of scientific exchanges and cooperation among the member academies, and active participation in events of international scientific communities.

Our first conference will be held in Nanjing, China next year. I would like to emphasize the importance of the success of the first conference in terms of the future of our society. The success of the 1st Conference will be a fruitful future of our society, so every member of our society should help the Organizing Committee of the 1st AOSPRM Conference to be a really successful meeting.

Again, I am honored to serve as the first President of AOSPRM and to take the duty of further accomplishing the mission of AOSPRM contribution to the people in Asia and Oceania regions.

Thank you very much.

Tai Ryoon Han
