This year’s Annual Meeting clinical tracks cover the entire scope of OMS practice, allowing a full emersion in the latest research. With the new format, attendees can participate in two clinical tracks per day.
New this year, each track features a one-hour session presenting a “hot-off-the-press” JOMS article published in 2021. In addition, to bring more high-level evidence to each track, expert speakers and oral abstracts — which were previously held in their own sessions — are being added to a two-hour plenary session before a question-and-answer session with the speakers.
The track topics are as follows: anesthesia, cosmetic, dental implant, dentoalveolar, head and neck, orthognathic, OSA, pathology, pediatrics and cleft, reconstruction, TMJ and trauma.
Most educational sessions and the exhibition are taking place at Music City Center. The Omni Nashville Hotel is hosting the keynote lecture, opening ceremony, awards presentation and meeting dedication, welcome reception and select educational sessions and social functions.
More information on specific educational sessions is available in the show guide, at www.eventscribe.net/2021/AAOMS-Annual and on the official meeting app.
