IAOMS Foundation 2021 Annual Report

A video message from IAOMS Foundation Chair, Larry Nissen

The IAOMS Foundation Board of Trustees would like to extend our gratitude to all 2021 donors and supporters and our corporate, foundation and regional partners. Your continued support throughout this challenging time has been deeply appreciated. As the world reopens from the pandemic, we look forward to returning to in-person programming. We are proud to present these highlights of 2021 throughout our 25th anniversary celebration.

IAOMS FOUNDATION PROGRAMS

As the Covid-19 pandemic persisted throughout 2021 the many factors associated with the pandemic presented obstacles to our ability to initiate and move forward with our traditional in-person fellowship and scholarship programs. While we were unable to deliver on our in-person programs we were able to swiftly pivot to virtual programming to deliver educational content to our members.    We are hopeful that positive changes in the trajectory of the pandemic will allow us to resume our popular in-person programs in the year ahead. We will continue to meet the ongoing demand for education in whichever modality circumstances allow - virtually or in person.

25th Anniversary Memories

As an IAOMS fellowship recipient in 2014-2015 at Peking University Hospital of Stomatology in China I can tell many stories about my experience which has marked impact not only on my professional life but also social one. The exposure to advanced methods of maxillofacial surgery in reconstruction and oncology meeting with specialty mentors and enlargement of your circle of maxillofacial colleagues from different backgrounds become not a far dream by that IAOMS fellowship. -Dr. M. Aljezooli Sudan

Through the years, with the unwavering support from IAOMS Presidents, Foundation Chairs, Board of Directors and Trustees, the IAOMS Foundation has undergone structural changes and professionalization. The core values from the onset were one of educational projects and scholarships for our profession. Twenty- five years later, the Foundation has flourished, and those values are now highly successful. -Dr. Alexis Olsson USA

It was hearing their enthusiastic and inspirational reports of their Fellowship experiences that made me think, “Wow that’s great; you now have two young OMFSs who will be good surgeons and inspirational  leaders …. And great supporters of the Foundation education endeavors!" -Dr. Ann Collins Australia

For me IAOMS is about worldwide securing a solid, high quality and recognizable position of our specialty in healthcare and society. Bridging the gap between differences in standards and development of surgeons and countries. Making friends. I donate to the Foundation to enable valuable initiatives for which support is essential. -Dr. Frederik Rozema Netherlands

Raise a Glass to 25 Years As a final tribute to the 25th anniversary of the Foundation, a 'Virtual Toast' was held in late December with dozens of supporters from around the world raising a glass in honor of our partners and donors.

In Memoriam: Dr. Daniel Laskin We are saddened by the passing of Dr. Daniel Laskin. Dr. Laskin was highly regarded within the specialty and will be remembered for his work along with his generosity in mentoring students and fellow surgeons. We will miss him as an extraordinary man, a friend, and OMS specialist.

I have been asked why I became involved with the Foundation and the Laskin Legacy Society. Winston Churchill once said, “You make a living from what you get. You make a life by what you give." I have been fortunate in my career to have had the opportunity for excellent training and research opportunities. I feel that it is important that I do whatever I can to enable others, particularly in less developed countries, the same opportunities. The Foundation enables this to happen.  -Dr. Daniel Laskin

A special thank you to AAOMS and the OMS FOUNDATION for their ongoing support of the IAOMS Foundation and for their generous contributions in honor of the IAOMS Foundation’s 25th Anniversary.
