Dear Members,

We are starting our board!

We are committed to work hard and we know the huge responsibility ahead. Yet it is also an honor for all of us to be able to contribute to the development of the Brazilian College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology and our beautiful specialty.

The Covid-19 pandemic brought great challenges for everyone in the most diverse areas across the planet. For health professionals, the difficulties are even greater, since we are in the middle of the storm, even for those who do not directly treat the disease.

But the sanitary crisis will end and, while it lasts, we need to keep the new scientific and recycling activities, either online or in person, adopting all necessary safety measures.

Several events are scheduled for the next two years (2021/22): Cobrac, in Belém/PA; Copac, in São Paulo/SP; Ennec, in João Pessoa/PB; Sul Brasileiro, in Curitiba/PR; and finally, Cobrac, in Florianópolis/SC. In this “new normal”, we will need to reinvent ourselves and we are already mobilizing ourselves in this sense, to maintain the high scientific standard of the College events, in a short period of time.

We are planning a national continuing education project distributed across the Chapters, to be closer to the members and also to expand our membership, to be even more representative.

This new board will innovate and bring projects that enhance the visibility of the College and put it at the service of members. We will continue important works initiated in the previous and past boards. We will keep a dialogue with the Federal Dental Council, Ministries of Education and Health. The struggle of the College will continue to assure the training of specialists only in the residency format!

My campaign promise was met, and the College doors were open to new members in the Board, the Council, Chapters and Commissions. Young people who will surely oxygenate the institution with new ideas, further modernizing our actions.

The members today can be proud to be part of one of the most organized entities in Dentistry. We have our own headquarters, employees, legal support, civil liability insurance, scientific journal, press office, social media companies and the largest and best scientific events in our specialty.

We are more than 1700 members, and many others can come and participate. Together, we can make the Brazilian College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology an even stronger entity. I am grateful for the trust in me for this important challenge that I am starting now, and I will continue to seek unity and strength to be more and more recognized.
