COOC 2026 - The Evolution of Office Ortho Goes International
What began as a focused academic initiative in Pune has now evolved into a global movement in Office Orthopedics. After two successful editions of the Pune Office Orthopaedics Course (POOC), Dr. Kiran Shete has officially announced the transformation of the conference into Current Office Orthopedic Concepts (COOC) 2026 - The International Edition.
This announcement marks a significant milestone in the journey of office-based orthopaedic education in India.
COOC 2026 represents the natural evolution of a conference that has consistently pushed the boundaries of non-surgical orthopaedics, regenerative medicine, minimally invasive procedures, rehabilitation, and evidence-based office practice. Over the years, Pune office orthopaedics course (POOC) created a distinct identity by bringing practical, clinically relevant orthopaedic learning directly to practicing doctors and healthcare professionals.
Now, with COOC 2026, that vision is expanding beyond Pune and beyond India.
For the first time, internationally renowned thought leaders and experts in Office Orthopedics from across the globe will come together under one platform to discuss the latest current concepts shaping modern office based orthopaedic care. The conference aims to create meaningful global collaboration while remaining deeply rooted in practical, day-to-day clinical application.
As highlighted in the official Course Director’s message, the modern orthopaedic clinic is no longer simply a transition point before surgery. It has become a dynamic centre for diagnosis, regenerative therapies, minimally invasive interventions, ultrasound-guided MSK procedures, rehabilitation, and patient-centred care. COOC 2026 has been designed to reflect this changing landscape of orthopaedics.
The International Edition of COOC 2026 will feature:
- Global faculty participation
- Live office orthopaedic procedures
- Hands-on workshops
- Cadaveric and simulation-based learning
- Masterclasses by international experts
- Advanced discussions on regenerative and non-surgical orthopaedic care
Dr. Kiran Shete, Course Director of COOC 2026, describes this transition as a declaration of ambition for the future of Office Orthopedics.
“The future of orthopaedics lies in evidence-based, office-centered, minimally invasive care that is practical, patient-focused, and globally collaborative. COOC 2026 is our vision to bring the world’s best minds in Office Orthopedics onto one common academic platform.”, said Dr. Kiran Shete.
While Pune Office Orthopedics Course (POOC) remains the foundation and identity from which this movement originated, COOC 2026 represents its next chapter - larger in scale, broader in vision, and international in impact.
COOC 2026 is more than a conference.
It is the beginning of a global academic movement in Office Orthopedics.
