“My experience at the Resident Transitions into Practice Conference was exceptional. The lectures were comprehensive and provided relevant and applicable information for all types of practice models. The environment allowed for open-ended discussion with the lecturers, who provided several pearls from their experience. The reception and events surrounding the conference offered a more intimate setting to develop relationships with the lecturers and AAOMS executives. I would highly recommend this conference to all senior level residents, as the things I learned will be invaluable to my life and practice after residency.”

"I learned so much about various practice models at a point in residency that I’m still exploring what I’d like my post-residency practice to look like. Surgeons with a wealth of experience and wisdom shared pearls and tips regarding optimization of practice models and implementing various techniques and services into practice. Several important topics were discussed that are difficult to find accurate information on, such as making orthognathic surgery and TMJ surgery profitable in a private practice setting. We were taught about topics such as coding and insurances that are often not discussed in depth while in residency. I left the program feeling inspired know that no matter what path I choose, I can bring many things I learned into my future practice."
