AAOM Member Stories

"At the time of my graduation from Harvard (1960), I received the AAOM Award which included a subscription to the OOOO Journal. As my career progressed, I became board certified in oral medicine and oral and maxillofacial pathology. During my 50 years teaching in Buffalo and in Israel, I continued to publish in the successor journals. I am now retired as Professor Emeritus on Oral Diagnostic Sciences at SUNY Buffalo and Visiting Professor at the Faculty of Dental Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem."

"To be a member of AAOM is my greatest honour. It feels like being a part of a great big family of unique specialists who really do love their work. When I have the opportunity to be a participant of any meetings organized by AAOM, I know that the information I get will be based on the best evidence. I deeply respect how AAOM is able to combat the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is very inspiring for me that members of AAOM cooperate together and despite the current exhausting situation are able to provide the best online meetings! I am glad to be a part of such amazing organization and hope to be able to much more participate in AAOM in the near future."
