ACOMS Review - Spring 2019 ACOMS Review April 2019

ACOMS REVIEW
Message from the President
The leadership of ACOMS has been exceeding
the goals of our mission statement by
providing opportunities to obtain surgical
excellence through education, as well as
promote fellowship amongst our peers.
The year started with outstanding
programming with the successful, first-of-its-
kind head and neck surgery course, Exploring
the Boundaries of Head & Neck Surgery, in
January. A multidisciplinary approach to
diagnosis and treatment of these challenging
cases was presented and discussed among
interdisciplinary and international experts in
the field.
The 32 nd ACOMS & FACES Annual Winter
Meeting took place on the mountains of
Colorado in February. Colleagues gathered
to share knowledge on a broad range of
topics, as well as fellowship on the slopes. This
March, our Annual Hands-on Facial Cosmetic
Surgery Course allowed a record number of
participants under expert tutelage.
I am most excited about the upcoming
outstanding 40 th Annual Scientific Conference
& Exhibition in Santa Fe, New Mexico from
April 6 - 9. This year is especially important, as
the focus of our meeting will be on anesthesia
and the current opioid crisis in the United
States. We are honored to have the Surgeon
General, Vice Admiral Jerome M. Adams, MD,
MPH, join us during our meeting to deliver a
Keynote Address on this subject. One other
special offer is access to the preceding (cont.)
