Episode 1

Gabriele Millesi and Julio Acero

IN THIS SPECIAL SERIES OF THE IAOMS PODCAST CELEBRATING THE 60th ANNIVERSARY OF IAOMS, we explore the history of the organization through the stories of our Past Presidents as they reflect on how the specialization and the needs of the world have traveled to today. Each episode is a different era of change and advancement for the specialty and its practitioners, with personal reflections on what IAOMS has become and the sincere responsibility its leadership carries. Dr. G.E. Ghali moderates each episode and encourages listeners to dive into these firsthand accounts of IAOMS history.

AS IAOMS Foundation Chair and IAOMS member, I am looking forward to seeing all in person at ICOMS in Vancouver this June. ICOMS 2023 promises an excellent scientific program featuring speakers from around the globe along with opportunities to network and visit with colleagues and friends all while enjoying Vancouver, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and at a great time of the year.

I’d like to personally invite ICOMS attendees to the Foundation Luncheon on Friday, June 9. This year’s speaker, Alexis Guimond, a competitive downhill skier who overcame cerebral palsy to become a two-time medalist in the Paralympic Games, will share his inspiring story. All proceeds from the luncheon will benefit the IAOMS Foundation, providing support for patient care, education and research for our specialty.

The pandemic caused us to pause all of our in-person educational programs , and we look forward to accepting applications for select fellowship and scholarship programs early this year. The official announcement was sent out in early January. Recipients of these training opportunities continue to use the knowledge and skills they’ve gained to improve patient lives and educate others throughout the duration of their careers.

Finally, I’d like to thank our IAOMS Foundation donors and supporters. We ended 2022 with strong donor support and my personal thanks goes out to our donors for giving back to our specialty. A special thank you to our corporate sponsor, KLS Martin, for their continued support as our Emerald Partner, our longtime supporters Elsevier, the OMS Foundation and the Osteo Science Foundation. We also thank our Regional and National Partners for their support of education and growth for OMF surgeons around the world.

I look forward to seeing you all in Vancouver.

Larry W. Nissen IAOMS Foundation Chairman

THANK YOU for the opportunity to serve IAOMS as the chief editor of Face to Face, the IAOMS newsmagazine.

The newsmagazine continues to serve as the “human touch” of the organization.

Over the last year, following the editorial transition, we have implemented some changes for the publication while maintaining all that makes it a treat to our members.

New Format And Content

Face to Face has evolved into a visual production –more pictures and embedded videos, podcasts and fewer articles to read.

It now bears a “virtual coffee table book” appearance, a “People Magazine” like publication – the idea is to capture the attention of surgeons the world over with pictorials rather than verbose content.

Over the last year, themes reflected upon ….

The content reflected global themes of the organization; introduced new topics and people of interest to the membership and continues to serve as a herald for IAOMS.
