growing movement in this surgical specialty. Membership applications

The challenge before us is to establish a firm base for IPEG
so that we can meet and surpass our educational and research goals.
We have created seven volunteer committees made up of IPEG members
interested in creating standards of practice, in pursuing outcomes & research, in organizing excellent educational meetings and courses, in growing the membership of IPEG and identifying new emerging technology.
We encourage you to submit an abstract for consideration at the
upcoming meeting to be held June 13-15, 2008 in Cannes, France.

Yours truly,
Marcelo Martinez Ferro, MD, Membership Committee Chairman

When IPEG was founded in 1991, our goals were simple:
- To assure that all pediatric surgeons, pediatric urologists
and general surgeons who treat children have access to current
information
defining the best, least invasive surgical treatment.
- To encourage development and evaluation of those treatments
through peer-to-peer communication, education and research.
