American Academy of Craniomaxillofacial Surgeons (AACMFS)

In July of 2009, two major surgical conferences were convened that attracted oral and maxillofacial surgeons from 11 different countries and virtually every state in the Union to travel to Oregon for the purpose of education, exchange of ideas, scholarly exercise, and fellowship. “Technological Advances In Head and Neck Oncology and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery”, was a multidisciplinary scientific meeting focused on head and neck cancer, maxillofacial reconstruction, and craniofacial / orthognathic surgery.
