Dear SDM Family:
Every year, our senior Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology residents challenge the Fellowship Examination of the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (AAOMP) Meeting prior to finishing their training program. There are 16 training programs in the US and this year, 19 candidates took the Fellowship Examination.
Several years ago, the AAOMP instituted the William G. Shafer Award. The Shafer Award is named after the late Dr. William Shafer, the AAOMP president in 1970 and principal author of the "Textbook of Oral Pathology", the leading textbook in this field from 1970-1995. This award is given to the oral and maxillofacial pathology resident who attains the highest score on the academy's fellowship examination. The exam tests the general and oral pathology knowledge, clinical and histopathologic diagnostic skills of individuals seeking Fellowship status in the academy. The honor comes with a $1000 cash award.
This year, one of our residents, Dr. Rana Alshagroud, received this prestigious award for her extraordinary performance in the academy's Fellowship examination.
Furthermore, the AAOMP closes its annual meeting with a very intellectual exercise (CPC) whereby six seasoned oral and maxillofacial pathologists (this year six Program Directors) contribute cases with either a clinical picture or imaging slides along with ONLY a brief clinical history. Then, six graduating residents in Oral and maxillofacial pathology discuss each one a case where they elaborate a differential diagnosis based on the minimal clinical information provided and the clinical or radiographic pictorial characteristics of the pathological condition assigned to them. After an in depth discussion, they render a final diagnosis. This is a very difficult exercise for the graduating resident. Typically, the clinical diagnosis rendered by the resident misses the "real" diagnosis issued by the oral and maxillofacial pathologist who had the advantage of reviewing the tissue sections of the case under discussion.
This year, out of six residents, ONLY one accurately diagnosed a case, … our own Rana Alshagroud !! She correctly diagnosed a Mantel Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma WITHOUT access to the tissue sections!! An extraordinary testament to her clinical diagnostic skills !!
Rana was without a doubt the "Shining Star" of the graduating Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology residents at the 2016 annual meeting of the AAOMP. I believe that our program is one of the best in the country. Rana's fantastic performance underlines the fact that talent and passion coupled to our program's infrastructure and the dedication of our Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology teaching faculty members have created a fertile ground to produce a cadre of highly skilled Oral and Maxillofacial Pathologist!
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Alshagroud on her worthy accomplishment!
With pride,
Alfredo Aguirre, D.D.S., M.S.
Director, Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
Professor, Department of Oral Diagnostic Sciences
