Re-MEMBER KASTRO

Dear colleagues, friends, current and future KASTRO members,

This is Nathan Kim, coming to you almost halfway through 2023, with GREAT NEWS! 

KASTRO 2023, San Diego is now officially OPEN for registration. 

I am beyond excited as we are anticipating a fantastic meeting once again.  Beyond the outstanding program, the outrageously generous educational travel grants, and the camaraderie of the US and Korean/International attendees, our firm belief is that KASTRO will once again be great, because of YOU, the members who attend.  Each and every one of YOU, who are part of this organization breathes and renews life and character to KASTRO each year, as we continue to not only survive but thrive, and as we make lasting memories (“Choo-UK”).  Simply put, YOU make KASTRO great!

Of course, none of this would be made possible without the stalwart guidance and support of our longtime leadership, who provide a strong foundation for our organization during their many years of service. …

Dear KASTRO members,

This past year has seen a significant transition and growth for KASTRO.   With 501c nonprofit status, KASTRO was able to raise over $17000 in total donation for 2017, our best year yet.   We increased resident and non-resident membership, continued our support of resident education with 2 travel grants and held our 2017 KASTRO meeting at the nicest venue yet in Parq restaurant in San Diego (find pictures at link).  We have added 2 new board members (Drs Isabelle Kim and Dan Kim) and named a new president, Dr Sara Kim. …
