The Division of Plastic Surgery’s Timothy W. King, M.D., Ph.D., will co-chair the AOCMF course, “Management of Facial Trauma,” in Atlanta, Georgia, Sept. 7-8.

Dr. Timothy King

The course is designed to equip young surgeons with evidence-based clinical approaches to treat and manage craniomaxillofacial fractures and congenital defects through the correction of these injuries or defects and the establishment of aesthetic outcomes. It is constructed in a modular format that focuses on the craniomaxillofacial patient through brief didactic lectures; multiple interactive, clinical, case-based small group discussion breakouts; and several hands-on practical exercises using Synbone plastic bone models.

Other curricular highlights include sessions on anatomy, biomechanics, multiple surgical approaches and principles of internal fixation of the mandible and midface.

All AO North America resident courses are developed and are consistent with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competencies and specialty-specific Milestones program.
