Recognizing oral and maxillofacial surgeons advancing their training, strengthening patient care, and bringing specialized knowledge back to communities around the world.
The IAOMS Foundation Fellowship Program has supported oral and maxillofacial surgeons from around the world as they pursue advanced training in cleft lip and palate, craniofacial surgery, oncology, microvascular reconstruction, and related areas of specialty care.
These fellowships reflect the IAOMS Foundation’s commitment to expanding access to high-level surgical education and strengthening patient care across regions, institutions, and communities. Each recipient represents both individual excellence and the broader impact of investing in global OMS training.
Through fellowship training, the IAOMS Foundation helps surgeons expand their skills, learn from leading centers of excellence, and apply that knowledge to improve care in their home countries and beyond.
