Message from the President...

A hearty hello to all the members of the ISBI.  I am David Harrington, a burn surgeon from Brown Health in Providence, RI, USA, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to the ISBI website. I will be reaching out quarterly to our community for the next two years in my role as ISBI president to keep you updated in the happenings of your society.

He was instrumental in putting together a remarkable and successful meeting in Birmingham in August of this year with 1,200+ attendees, which makes it the third largest ISBI meeting of all time.  The program was built to highlight the challenges of low and middle resource countries.
