TOMSPAC

ACTION ALERT!!

The Future of OMS Anesthesia will be decided in the next session of the Texas Legislature!

Working through TOMSPAC, Texas oral and maxillofacial surgeons have a small but important window of opportunity to develop and financially support a campaign that will educate Texas legislators, third party payers and insurance companies, and other strategic partners about the:

Specialty’s in-depth residency-based anesthesia training;

  • Lifelong learning required by every OMS;
  • Office Anesthesia Evaluation conducted every five years;
  • OMS Anesthesia Team’s outstanding safety record; and
  • Specialty’s exceptional level of patient satisfaction.
Contact Your State Representative:
Do you have a relationship with your district’s state representative? Invite them to tour your office. Take them to lunch and explain how oral and maxillofacial surgery differs from general dentistry and other dental specialties. Is your representative running for office? TOMSPAC may be able to contribute to their campaign. Please contact TSOMS Executive Director Kelly Ann Shy at
[email protected] for assistance in scheduling office tours, meetings, and campaign contributions.
