Message from the President...

ISBI Members and Friends, I wish you a Happy New Year!

Let’s start the new year with a little trivia.  What American movie highlighted the line, “If you build it, they will come?”  Well, it was Field of Dreams (Kevin Costner, 1989).  Kevin Costner built an old-fashioned baseball diamond in his cornfield and crowds of people arrived.  The ISBI built a Burn Center Assessment Program.  We initially received 8 applications for the 2025 first cycle of visit. In 2025, we successfully conducted 4 burn center assessments (3 in Colombia and 1 in Costa Rica). We have received 22 applications for the 2026 cycle of visits.  We are very excited by this positive response and are ramping up our travel teams to get to as many of these centers in the upcoming year as possible!

The ISBI Board of Directors is committed to being an international burn society...               Continued Message

The International Society for Burns Injuries (ISBI) aims to disseminate knowledge and stimulate prevention in the field of burns. In order to achieve these goals, the ISBI: endorses regional and national meetings and congresses; awards grants to professors taking part in courses and congresses in other countries and to members wanting to visit other burn centers; assists with the organization and financial support of educational courses in different countries; collaborates with the World Health Organization (WHO) as a non-governmental organization; provides members with reduced registration fees at their biennial conferences, and ensures their members receive the Burns journal free of charge.
