MedCenter TMJ’s Dr. Auvenshine Scheduled to Teach an Anatomy Course at the 38th AAOP Scientific Meeting
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) April 30, 2014 -- MedCenter TMJ is pleased to announce that Dr. Ronald Auvenshine will be attending and lecturing at the 38th annual American Academy of Orofacial Pain (AAOP) Scientific Meeting. The annual meeting of the AAOP serves as an opportunity for doctors from around the country to gain a better understanding of the causes of and treatment for orofacial pain.
Dr. Auvenshine’s lecture is an in-depth pre-meeting course that takes place the day before the AAOP event on May 1. He will be conducting the all-day course alongside Dr. Henry Gremillion, a respected colleague and friend. The two doctors will focus their teachings on the anatomy of the head and neck, performing dissections during the lecture. “Dr. Gremillion and I very much enjoy participating in the Scientific Meeting,” said Dr. Auvenshine. “We’ve been presenting this course every other year at the annual session to a group of about 25 members.”
The course is a perfect introduction to the Scientific Meeting and fully supports the mission of better informing doctors about orofacial pain. Dr. Auvenshine and Dr. Gremillion will discuss the mechanisms of the head and neck region to give attendees an understanding of how orofacial pain manifests. The following three days during the event, there will be dozens of seminars on topics that range from nerve injury to pharmacotherapy for neuropathic pain to issues of heredity.
One of the many benefits of the Scientific Meeting is the continuing education aspect. The AAOP has been approved by the Academy of General Dentistry to be a PACE Program Provider. The meeting will include a total of 26.25 credit education hours, some of which are included in the preconference course events.
The regular portion of this year’s meeting takes place Friday, May 2, through Sunday, May 4, at the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas, NV. To learn more about Dr. Auvenshine and MedCenter TMJ, please visit: http://www.medcentertmj.com/.
