Safa.BaubackThe Harry J. Buncke Lectureship has been created with the support of the California Pacific Medical Center to honor Dr. Buncke's remarkable contributions to the field of microsurgery. Dr. Harry Buncke played a major role in the development of our specialty and helped develop several microsurgical laboratories across the globe. He influenced countless residents and fellows as well as numerous department chairs throughout the world. It is with great appreciation that the ASRM is able to honor Dr. Harry J. Buncke with this lectureship.

Each year a candidate is selected to give the Harry J. Buncke Lecture during the ASRM Annual Meeting. The main criteria for the selection are the candidate's contributions in the field of reconstructive microsurgery. Nominations for candidates are accepted from ASRM members ONLY. All nominations must be received by May 15. Email form to: asrmadmin@isms.org

upton.josephGodina Traveling Fellowship

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Dr. Marko Godina was a visionary reconstructive microsurgeon, an insightful and enthusiastic teacher, and a remarkable man. Despite his abbreviated career, tragically cut short at the age of 43, he led the way for a generation of microsurgeons in understanding the care and treatment of complex extremity injuries through early reconstructive microsurgery. ASRM established the Godina Traveling Fellow to allow a deserving individual, chosen by the ASRM, to travel among numerous microsurgical centers around the world.

History of ASRM

The American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM) was established in 1984 and has served "to promote, encourage, foster, and advance the art and science of microsurgery and complex reconstruction” and to establish a forum for teaching, research and free discussion of reconstructive microsurgical methods and principles.  Today the society is comprised of more than five hundred members from sixteen countries and continues to evolve and grow providing a major engine for microsurgical advancement.

The society was born from the initial desire to nurture the emerging field of digit and limb replantation.   Over the past two and a half decades members of the ASRM with their tireless work and innovation have helped transform this initial desire into an entirely new area of medicine (reconstructive microsurgery).

Since its inception the field of microsurgery has grown rapidly with major advances in instrumentation, suture fabrication, microscope technology and enhanced understanding of vascular anatomy, coagulation, nerve regeneration, bone biology and transplantation immunology.

What it means to be an ASRM Microsurgeon

All active ASRM members go through a rigorous application process, ensuring continued high standards of the organization. Members must hold board certification from an American Board of Medical Specialties recognized board or similarly empowered international organization. Members must also have documented training in reconstructive and/or microneurovascular surgery.

Seeking an ASRM Microsurgeon as your surgeon ensures that your surgeon has met exceptional qualification standards.
