Introduction
A founding fellow in OMFS-SA is an ACVS Diplomate who has obtained additional training and experience or has demonstrated expertise in OMFS, beyond surgery residency training and devotes a major portion of their professional effort prevention diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OMFS-SA patients. The founding fellow shows substantial programmatic effort in this field, whether in academic or private speciality practice.
ACVS recognizes that many of its members have achieved a level of expertise in a specific field or may wish to achieve a level of expertise. This expertise allows ACVS Diplomates to interact with other surgeons, related non-surgical experts, and the lay community in such a way as to provide a leadership role in matters of surgery in their focused field.
In order to fulfil this membership need, ACVS established ACVS Fellowship Programs.
Volunteering to serve on the fellowship oversight committees
The fellowship oversight committee (FOC) is responsible for monitoring the fellowship program and providing status reports to the Fellowship Committee on training centres, training candidates, and program modification requests. Serving on the fellowship oversight committee is a three-year term.
