EFAS Education Committee is looking for new members to complete the team.

Mission of the Committee: EFAS Education Committee shapes and organises the educational content of EFAS Instructional Courses.

New Year, New Opportunities, New Fellowships

A new year is approaching, bringing with it countless opportunities, challenges, and goals to achieve.

This year should be filled with improvement, growth, and development. Now is the perfect time to plan and set the milestones we aim to conquer in 2025.

As orthopedic surgeons and enthusiasts of foot and ankle care, we carry the responsibility of continuously expanding our knowledge and refining our skills to provide the highest level of care to our patients.

A Fellowship presents an outstanding opportunity for hands-on, high-quality education.

The EFAS Fellowship Program lies at the heart of the society's mission, sparing no effort to make this program a benchmark of Excellence in Training.

Applications for two of EFAS's 2025 fellowships are about to open: the 2025 EFAS-AOFAS Exchange Program and the 2025 EFAS Travelling Fellowship.

We are excited to announce the establishment of the new EFAS Humanitarian Aid Committee. This committee aims to extend EFAS's reach beyond our regular activities and contribute to humanitarian efforts in regions where foot and ankle care is often under-resourced.

Dear EFAS Members,

It is a great honor and joy for me to serve as your President of EFAS.
I experience EFAS as a large family where each of us has our place and importance.

In recent years, EFAS has achieved a leading position within the international "Foot and Ankle Community." Today, it is recognized as the most dynamic and largest international foot and ankle society worldwide. (...)

Manfred Thomas

EFAS President (2024-2026)

Dear all,
 

It has been an honor to serve as EFAS President for the past two years, and I sincerely thank you for your trust. EFAS has grown into a large family with more than 6,000 members and an active educational program. The recent congress in Brussels also demonstrated that we are a vibrant organization. We had a strong turnout, with attendance increasing by more than 30%, showing that our message resonates. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Manuel Monteagudo and the entire Scientific Committee for their dedication, as well as our MCO team, whose efforts were essential to the success of our initiatives.

Kris Buedts

EFAS Past-President (2022 - 2024)
