ACOMS REVIEW
President’ s Message Volume IX, ISSUE I, 2017
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Wishing you a happy new year full of prosperity, love, and health!
This year will bring about many potential changes, particularly with the policies of our new President of the United States. Despite differences in political beliefs, it is important that we recognize that as oral and maxillofacial surgeons and small business owners, we are community leaders and have a responsibility to uphold our institutions and empower them. Let us approach change with optimism and set a positive example during this historic moment in our country!
Our educational journey through 2017 will be a great one, as ACOMS has numerous educational opportunities available this year.
We begin on January 27 and 28 with the 12th Annual Hands-on Comprehensive Facial Cosmetic course in New Orleans. ACOMS’ Past President Dr. Jon Perenack has put together an excellent course with topics including facelift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, brow-lifting and skin rejuvenation. Highly-qualified speakers and hands-on sessions will make this course a wonderful opportunity to refresh concepts in facial cosmetic surgery.
From February 26 to March 3, ACOMS will join with FACES to co-host the 30th Annual Winter Meeting in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The meeting will feature a strong educational program while allowing plenty of time to enjoy the slopes. Various topics including dental implants, TMJ, and orthognathic and orthodontic therapy for skeletal facial deficiencies will be discussed, so be sure to register now!
ACOMS will also join the Canadian Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons( CAOMS) in the vibrant city of Vancouver for a Joint Annual Conference from May 3-5. The meeting cochairs have done an incredible job securing world-renowned speakers in our specialty to support the educational program. Additionally, we will honor ACOMS W. Harry Archer Award Winner Dr. Jeffrey Posnick and CAOMS Founders’ Memorial Lecturer Dr. Mark Devlin.
