The International Chinese Musculoskeletal Research Society (ICMRS) will hold its 2022 ICMRS Virtual Spring Membership Meeting in February. 

The membership webinar meeting will be organized to provide a forum for ICMRS members to exchange the information in all frontiers of musculoskeletal research to bridge the knowledge gap between the scholars from different research fields. To recognize the achievement of young ICMRS members, all Webster Jee Young Investigator Finalists will present their work at the meeting and the Awards will be presented to the winners at the meeting. The winners will be announced during the membership meeting and each awardee will receive an award certificate/plaque and a cash award.

All applicants are asked to attend the meeting because the award will only be given to the attendees. Applicants may find details about ICMRS at http://www.icmrs.net. The program of 2022 ICMRS Membership Meeting will be announced soon.
