Join IAOMS in Celebrating the Women of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

This March, IAOMS invites the global OMS community to recognize, encourage, and celebrate the women shaping the specialty through leadership, education, research, mentorship, innovation, and patient care.

A Global Celebration of the Women Advancing the Specialty

Women in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery continue to make a profound impact across the world. They are advancing clinical excellence, leading research, mentoring future surgeons, expanding access to care, and strengthening the specialty in every region.

On International Women's Day and all through March, Women’s History Month, in the USA, IAOMS is proud to spotlight that impact through a shared video gallery featuring messages from across the global OMS community.

We invite you to add your voice. Record a brief video message, 90 seconds or less, celebrating the women of OMS and the contributions they (or you) make to our specialty every day. We also invite you to share other articles and photos to celebrate women in oral and maxillofacial surgery on Face to Face®.

Record Your Message

Your message can recognize a mentor, colleague, trainee, leader, or friend, and of course your own story as a woman in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

It can reflect on the importance of representation, share encouragement for the next generation, or simply celebrate the women helping move OMS forward.

Videos should be 90 seconds or less.
