The idea is to exploit the potential of social media to keep alive a feedback mechanism, where residents go to find information on the group each week and encourage the same way his new teammates to do the same , also indicated that they are putting much emphasis on the Fellowships and exchange between residents worldwide, one 3rd year traine of a place can be exchanged for other 3rd year trainee. At this time Dr. Su Yin Htun join us, she was selected for the Fellowship of patients with cleft lip and palate IAOMS of last year, she narrated stories of his experience in this fellow that consisted of a rotation of 3 different countries.

Dr. Deepak calls all residents to join this initiative and give advice on how to improve it, all opinions are noted and then discussed for channeling, with this in mind as well as opening the Facebook group opened a site dedicated especially for residents on the official website of the IAOMS where official announcements will be made and all relevant news as related to fellowships ;

http://www.iaoms.org/ .Dr. Krishnan also provides a link where residents can becomes members of the IAOMS for free :http://www.iaoms.org/membership-2013/It was certainly a very motivating meeting because new things and opportunities are coming from the IAOMS, however the role of each resident to keep this initiative alive, is the engine that keeps these doctors with charged batteries to continue working . It is worth noting that in Latin America the ALACIBU is doing similar work under the direction of Dr. Henry Garcia Guevara, hope to have results in the coming months about it.
