Oral and maxillofacial surgeons do not typically belong to unions, but they can join membership organizations such as the American Dental Association, which offers networking and employment opportunities, continuing education classes and webinars, conferences, and other useful resources. The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons is the leading professional association for dental surgeons. It hosts an annual meeting, offers professional development opportunities, publishes the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and AAOMS Today, and provides other useful resources. The International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons offers membership and the NextGen Council, which provides webinars, quizzes, and online discussions for young surgeons.
