About the Examination Committee
Members of the ABOMS Examination Committee perform many duties specific to the Board Certification process. In addition to participating as an Examiner and preparing cases for the Oral Certifying Examination (OCE), they are also responsible for submitting items for the Qualifying Examination (QE), Recertification Examination (RE) and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery In Training Examination (OMSITE). The Board of Directors appoints new Examiners each spring following the OCE, and appointments are made for one-year terms. Applications must be submitted to the ABOMS office by December 31st in order to apply for the Examination Committee.
Potential Examination Committee Members must meet the following criteria to be considered:
- Be a Diplomate in good standing
- Be an active Diplomate for at least five years
- Pledge to maintain confidentiality
- Demonstrate contemporary knowledge of oral and maxillofacial surgery
- Submit an application with two letters of recommendation from active Diplomates
- Have no former or pending actions against any dental or medical license
The 2020 Examination Committee will be selected by the Board during the Spring 2019 meeting. The online application process for the 2021 Examination Committee will be available on Diplomate profiles beginning in June.
