It gives me great pleasure to
greet you for the first me as
President of the American
College of Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgeons. When I reflect on how
this organiza on has changed
since I joined its Board of
Regents, I am most proud of
how much we have grown. We have experienced:
Growth in the number of educa onal offerings and
the number of OMSs who turn to us for their
ongoing educa onal needs;
Increased membership, from a shrinking organiza‐
on to one with posi ve growth in number of
Fellows and more ac ve Resident Members than
every before;
Expansion of our rela onships with other organiza‐
ons serving our specialty, with leaders from
AAOMS, and several other na onal and interna on‐
al organiza ons a ending our most recent Annual
Conference;
Growth in our reputa on which, though difficult to
quan fy, was shared with me over‐and‐over again
at our Annual Mee ng by a endees and faculty
alike;
Greater financial stability which will allow us to be
prepared for even bigger things in the coming
years.
I owe a sincere THANK YOU to my predecessors,
par cularly our Immediate Past President, Chuck
Hasse, for leaving me an organiza on on such solid
foo ng and poised for even more progress. Our 2014‐
15 Officers and Regents are a fantas c team of
energe c, forward‐thinking leaders who, along with
our commi ees of dedicated volunteers, fill me with
high expecta ons for the coming year.
The unprecedented number of high‐quality educa onal
offerings that the College presented last year will
con nue through the 2014‐15 term. Our Commi ee for
Con nuing Educa on is already planning for at least
seven in‐person educa onal events. More informa on
will be coming soon about hands‐on courses focused
on TMJ, Implants, and Faceli s, our Third Annual Resi‐
dents Mee ng, Second Annual Ski Mee ng, Third
Annual Recer fica on Review Boot Camp, and of
course our 36th Annual Scien fic Conference and Exhi‐
bi on in Fort Lauderdale. Addi onally, the Commi ee
is determined to introduce web‐based CDE offerings to
enhance the value of your membership and allow you
to earn credits on your own schedule.

President’s Message (ctd.)
(con nued from page 1)
Our Communica ons Commi ee will be
implemen ng changes in 2014‐15 to bring greater
depth of content to the ACOMS Review newsle er,
including surgical and prac ce management topics.
They will also take responsibility for developing new
offerings for our web site, working closely with the
CCE on web‐based CDE program.
Finally, as an OMS Residency Program Director I care
very deeply about engaging residents and academic
faculty to share with them the educa onal benefits of
this organiza on. We already offer free membership
and significantly reduced registra on to most
mee ngs and courses for OMS residents, as well as
opportuni es to get published, win prizes, and gain
speaking experience. Academic faculty members may
take advantage of half‐price dues and a suite of
benefits for both themselves and their trainees. I
firmly believe that every Program Director should be
a Fellow of ACOMS, as should every OMS resident
and I will be working with our Membership Com‐
mi ee toward this important goal.
I look forward to serving all of you in the coming
months. Please feel free to contact me at any me to
share your impressions of the College, ask a ques on,
or just to say hello: [email protected]
Best Regards,
Robert A. Strauss, DDS, MD

Featured Abstract From www.OOOOJournal.net/Current:
Developing a protocol for gastrostomy tube inser on in pa ents diagnosed with head and neck cancer
Syed F. Habib, Suhail Ahmed, Rachel Skelly, Kavita Bha , Bhaveshree Patel, Derek Lowe, Julian Tuson, Simon
N. Rogers
Selec ng pa ents with head and neck cancer requiring a pretreatment gastrostomy feeding tube is not
straigh orward. The nutri onal status and func onal deficits associated with the cancer, its treatment, and
the long‐term side effects predicate the need for gastrostomy tube placement. However, gastrostomy tubes
are not without morbidity and are an added burden to the pa ent. The aim of this retrospec ve case series
review was to evaluate the clinical characteris cs of newly diagnosed pa ents with head and neck cancer
treated with cura ve intent having gastrostomy placement, with the intent of developing a protocol to help
with the mely selec on of pa ents for pretreatment gastrostomy inser on. A gastrostomy tube was placed
in 32% of pa ents. A regression model iden fied 5 independent factors (P < .001) to predict gastrostomy
tube placement: overall clinical stage, tumor site, clinical T stage, pa ent age, and clinical N stage. A protocol
to help the mul disciplinary team to decide whether a pretreatment gastrostomy tube should be placed is
suggested. Full text is available at h p://www.oooojournal.net/ar cle/S2212‐4403%2814%2900003‐0/
