Dear colleagues and friends

On behalf of the Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (KSUM), it is our greatest pleasure to invite all members of KSUM as well as international colleagues to participate in KSUM 2021 to be held from May 13 (Thu) to 14 (Fri), 2021

We organized last year’s KSUM 2020 virtually due to COVID-19. It was a big challenge, but we nevertheless were able to host the KSUM 2020 Online Congress successfully thanks to the benevolent support and enthusiasm of all members.

We believe that the global situation will be better in 2021. However, we are also afraid that travel may continue to be difficult. Therefore, KSUM 2021 will be held in a hybrid format combining in-person and virtual programs. With the experience gained in 2020, we are confident that the 2021 Congress will be even more informative with, of course, top priority continuing to be given to the health and safety of our participants.

The KSUM 2021 Hybrid Congress will cover the latest findings in the field of ultrasound in medicine and biology, and provide you with the chance to share your thoughts and ideas and hear renowned speakers and delegates.

Although it is such a shame that we continue to be unable to have you in Korea and meet you in person, we have no doubt that the KSUM 2021 Hybrid Congress will offer you an engaging and exciting platform for exchange and participation, all at a more flexible schedule.

We ask for your interest and participation in the KSUM 2021 Hybrid Congress, and look forward to welcoming you at KSUM 2021.

Sincerely,

• Won Jae Lee, M.D. President
• Jae-Joon Chung, M.D. Chair, Organizing Committee
