BEGIN AGAIN
2022 is set to be an amazing year for the IAOMS and its members. As we welcome a new president and officers, our volunteers and staff are renewing their commitment to advance the field of OMF surgery at every stage of its practitioners’ careers while connecting them with the community of their supportive fellow surgeons. We strive to care about our members with the same passion they show for the health and happiness of the patients whom they’ve dedicated their lives to help. We extend our thanks to every member who makes this possible, and we welcome you to enjoy our programs and events this year. We are also happy to introduce Xander Sobecki, joining IAOMS staff as Manager of Marketing and Communications.
