World Workshop of Oral Medicine

WWOM VIII represents a culmination of the first seven Workshops conducted over the past 25 years. We learn from each successive Workshop, seek to refine our modelling, and improve the clarity and transparency of WWOM policy. It is critical that our Oral Medicine colleagues worldwide remain informed and have an opportunity to provide feedback and advice. To that end we include our mission statement, our goals, our organizational structure, and opportunities for participation in WWOM VIII in the sections I and II.  

The plans for WWOM VIII are proceeding well and are described in section III. This will provide a foundation for continued work leading into WWOM VIII (scheduled for May 2–3 2022 in Memphis, USA) and WWOM IX (2025, USA, city to be confirmed).

Thank you again for your interest and support. We very much look forward to the next steps leading to 2022.
