CRANIOMAXILLOFACIAL
SURGERY COURSE
7TH CRANIOMAXILLOFACIAL COURSE
Taking place in 2027
Destination TBA
The 6th Craniomaxillofacial course was held at the Crowne Plaza Queenstown, New Zealand from 2-4 October 2025 and convened by Susan O’Mahony, Paediatric Craniomaxillofacial Surgeon, based in Brisbane.
Topics covered included craniofacial growth and development, cleft lip and palate, cephalometry and orthognathic surgery, paediatric craniofacial surgery, and craniomaxillofacial trauma, along with dental and bone tumours and cysts. A comprehensive book of notes was provided to each attendee, and practice exam questions were completed throughout the course.
This year we had 39 registrations which is a 30% increase on the 2023 registration numbers.
Trainee exposure to CMF surgery varies between units and the CMF Course aims to develop interest and provide trainees with comprehensive teaching of this area of the curriculum. The course provides an excellent grounding for registrars, and is invaluable when preparing for the fellowship exam.
Thank you to Susan and all of the faculty including, Charles Baillieu (VIC), Charles Davis (NZ), Sophie Ricketts (VIC) & Ian Hewson (Special Needs Dentistry VIC) for volunteering your time to deliver this valuable training to the registrars.
Thank you also to our sponsors: Lyka Smith, Medartis, KLS Martin & Stryker.
The course will be held again in 2027.
