AAOMS endorses the following simulation programs as equivalent alternatives to the AAOMS National Simulation Program. Completion of any one of these equivalent courses – or the AAOMS Office-Based Emergency Airway Management (OBEAM) module – satisfies the necessary simulation training to maintain AAOMS membership.
- ADSA High Fidelity Simulation Course
- Oral Surgeons’ Airway Simulation and Medical Emergencies Course by Emergency Medical Consultants
- Dental Simulation Specialists
- Anesthesia Simulation Training for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (ASTOMS)
Course Director: Sharon Aronovich, DMD, FACS
Course Coordinator: Marina Zupelari [email protected]
Location: University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich. - Basic Airway Skills During Emergencies (BASE) Course

Location: St. Joseph’s University Medical Center
Upcoming course dates: Oct. 8 and Nov. 11
Verification of compliance of successful anesthesia simulation training should be completed through the Office Anesthesia Evaluation (OAE) program.
AAOMS offers its OBEAM didactic curriculum to support non-AAOMS hands-on simulation training programs that lack a didactic instruction component. Programs can recommend that participants purchase the AAOMS-developed material to ensure adherence of the simulation training needed for AAOMS membership.
Note: AAOMS members must complete both didactic instruction and an AAOMS-endorsed hands-on simulation equivalency program to fulfill AAOMS membership. Participants registering for AAOMS’s OBEAM module should not purchase this separate didactic curriculum, as it is already integrated into the AAOMS program.
