Message from the Organizing Chairman Organizing Chairman Organizing Chairman
Greetings from the organizing committee of the 13th International Conference of the Society of Clinical Anatomists - (SOCACON 2025), being hosted by Government Medical College Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, from 10th to 12th of May, 2025. The theme of the conference “Bridging Anatomy and Clinical Practice: Challenges and Future Prospects.” is based on the idea that clinical practice in any field of modern Medicine is incomplete without the knowledge of Anatomy. It is expected that the conference will provide an international platform for showcasing professional development and excellence in clinical Anatomy, and facilitate the exchange of ideas and research amongst its members. It will bridge the gap between Anatomists and Clinicians and explore new frontiers of collaboration and research focussing on challenges and their solution.
