This fall, I’m honored to run the TCS New York City Marathon with Fred’s Team to raise funds for groundbreaking head & neck cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. As the daughter of Dr. Ross Kerr, former AAOM President and current ABOM President, I’ve seen firsthand how this research impacts families and the important work oral medicine specialists do to fight these diseases. 100% of what I raise goes directly to life-changing research. Please consider supporting my journey and the cause!

CODA Update
The OMRC met recently to review compliance, accreditation standards, and policy updates for advanced oral medicine education.
• No non-compliance was found among four programs under the 2019 standards.
• The new 2024 standards had not yet been applied to any site visits; data will remain confidential until four programs are evaluated.
• The committee endorsed editorial updates to evidence requirements reflecting recent CMS changes and urged immediate adoption.
• Ongoing monitoring and annual reporting will continue with the new standards.
Dr. Andres Pinto will become OMRC Chair after the Summer 2025 CODA meeting. The committee remains focused on maintaining standards and adapting to evolving policies.
