**CANCELLED** AO CMF NA Course-Hot Topics in CMF Reconstruction (with HAS)

May 31, 2024 - June 2, 2024
New York, New York, USA

Reconstruction of complex facial defects require a wide range of advanced surgical techniques to restore normal facial form and function.  Traditionally, post-oncological and post-traumatic defects required procedures aimed at recruiting large volumes of distant tissue to augment or replace lost or retracted soft tissue.  Composite tissue transplantation is the most aggressive example of this paradigm.  More recently, sets of reconstructive procedures have been developed to provide the basis of craniomaxillofacial gender affirmation.  

In this new two and a half-day comprehensive advanced-level course a combination of a hands-on human anatomical session (DAY 1); and didactic sessions with lectures, panel discussions, and interactive debates, will encompass the state-of-the-art reconstructive techniques to address these challenging problems (DAYS 2 & 3).  In short, the focus of this course will be to teach aesthetic and functional reconstruction of craniofacial hard and soft tissue, with an emphasis on the newest techniques, latest technologies, and hottest topics.

Target Audience:

The course is aimed at experienced (upper level) trainees, early career surgeons and experienced surgeons in Oral and Maxillofacial, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Professional Level Prerequisite(s):

Upper-Level Resident, Fellow, Attending

AO North America is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

As an Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) accredited provider, AO North America meets the definition of a constituent or component organization of the AMA and thereby meets most state dental board requirements of an approved sponsor of continuing education. This course is focused on clinical issues in oral-maxillofacial surgery that are relevant to the treatment and care of dental patients. Most states accept AMA constituents as approved sponsors for continuing dental education credit. If you have questions, your state dental board can confirm eligibility of this course.

Designation Statement - AO North America designates this live educational activity for a maximum of [Hours Pending] AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

The Continuing Medical Education (CME) mission of AO North America (AONA®) is to provide comprehensive multidisciplinary needs based education to surgeons, fellows, and residents in the specialties of orthopedic, hand, craniomaxillofacial, spine, neurosurgery, and veterinary surgery in the areas of trauma (i.e.), operative reduction and fixation), degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstruction.

Expected results of AONA's CME activities for surgeons, fellows, and residents are to:
• Increase their knowledge base and surgical skill level
• Improve competence by applying advances of knowledge in patient care in the areas of trauma, degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstructive surgical techniques
• Address practice performance gaps by improving management of aspects of traumatic injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., pre-operative planning to post-operative care)

Upon completion, participants should be able to:
  • Perform a variety of new surgical reconstructive techniques with attention to the pearls and pitfalls, under the guidance of the experts.
  • Interact with experts during the dissections, workshops, clinical case discussions, and presentations.
  • Discuss recent technological advances used in craniomaxillofacial and reconstructive surgery.
