- The Keynote Lecture delivered by the guru of OMS anesthesia simulation, Deepak
Krishnan, DDS, FACS, Chief of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of
Cincinnati, and Chair of the AAOMS Committee on Anesthesia, will examine
simulation as innovative practice for exercising emergency protocols. - The Byrd-Tilson-Walker Residents Day program will again showcase some of our most
talented residents and the research they are conducting at our residency programs. - The renowned and wide-ranging Exhibit Hall will offer attendees ample, uninterrupted
time to learn about the products and services busy OMS practices use every day.
In addition, you will enjoy such fun-filled events as the Thursday evening Welcome Reception, the optional golf tournament, and Friday’s President’s Event.
