Greetings, beloved and respected members of the Korean Society of Coloproctology.
I am Soon Sup Jung, the new Chairman, Board of Directors of the Korean Society of Coloproctology. I am deeply honored to assume the important role of chairman and Anorectal Medicine, and I also feel a profound sense of responsibility. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my predecessors who have guided the society thus far.
Our society comprises approximately 3,000 members and has established itself as a premier organization in Korea, boasting a rich 60-year history and tradition. It is now a society that we can take great pride in on a global scale. I believe this success is attributable to the dedication and efforts of numerous senior members and participants. Through both academic and external activities, the society has been growing steadily and expanding its influence both domestically and internationally.
However, the challenges that society has been facing recently, such as COVID-19, the global economic downturn, and the ongoing parliamentary conflict, are significant. As I begin my term as the new president, I have many concerns. I believe it is time not only to expand our outreach but also to return to our roots, revisit the fundamentals, and strengthen our core values.
To this end, I would like to offer a few promises and assurances.
First, we will operate the Society more efficiently. Given the challenges of increasing our income, we will simplify our processes and reduce unnecessary expenses. This does not mean compromising quality. We will continue to work for the interests of our members and provide support to those who are dedicated to their work.
Second, we will make every effort to enhance the treatment of colorectal surgeons. We will persist in our efforts to normalize essential medical reimbursements and collaborate with physician organizations, government entities, and other stakeholders to ensure that all members, including practicing surgeons, are recognized and rewarded for their contributions. By doing so, we will establish conditions that enable future generations to support colorectal surgery with pride and fulfill our mission.
Third, academic activities and research support are essential, and we will make comprehensive preparations to enhance the Society's profile.
For all of these initiatives, we require the cooperation and engagement of our members. The Society is committed to dedicating all necessary resources and efforts to support its members. I encourage you to shift your focus from what the Society can do for you to what you can contribute to the Society.
We invite you to attend and actively participate in the Society's events, as well as to provide your valuable advice and guidance. I also encourage you to support the Society in any way possible, whether through donating your time, talents, or financial contributions. We are committed to assisting the Korean Society of Coloproctology, which is approaching its 60th anniversary, in becoming a more developed and robust Society.
Thank you.
Chairman, Board of Directors of the Korean Society of Coloproctology, Soon Sup Chung.
