What an incredible week in Rotterdam at SECEC 2025, this one will stay with me for a long time! I’m genuinely proud to represent Romania as its first National Delegate to SECEC, marking a huge milestone for both our country and the Romanian Elbow and Shoulder Society.
An unforgettable moment for me was moderating the “Shoulder Mix” session on Thursday, 18 September, alongside Okke Lambers-Heerspink. It was great to be so actively involved in SECEC activities and to contribute to such a vibrant international program.
Another highlight for me was passing the inaugural SECEC Certificate examination in shoulder and elbow surgery, joining the first group of surgeons in Europe to receive this credential. It’s a privilege to be part of something pioneering in our field.
Many thanks to President Roger van Riet for the invitation to the President’s Dinner. It was an extraordinary evening spent in conversation with legends Christian Ge**er and Greg Hoy. Their wisdom, humility, and passion for shoulder surgery continue to inspire me.
It was wonderful to see Romanian shoulder surgeons present, engaged, and passionate at such a high level. A reminder of the talent and drive within our community. I’m excited for what’s ahead and eager to help our Romanian group grow even stronger.
Save the date! I warmly invite all colleagues and friends to join us at SRUC 2025 on 3–4 October at the Sheraton Hotel in Bucharest. Let’s keep building this fantastic community together!
Looking forward to the future, onward and upward!
