Program Overview


Program Overview

The American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons (ASMS) inaugurated a craniomaxillofacial course in Cairo, Egypt. The course was chaired by Dr. Phuong Nguyen, MD, FACS, and took place from January 24th to January 26th, 2025.


Course Content

The course included lectures and hands-on portions on various topics, such as:


  • Cleft lip repair
  • Orthognathic surgery
  • Facial trauma

Faculty and Attendance

The course featured an international faculty from:


  • North America
  • South Africa
  • Spain
  • Egypt Over 100 learners attended the course, including many from countries with limited regular access, such as:
  • Iraq
  • Afghanistan
  • Yemen
  • Algeria
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Egypt

Program Significance

The course aimed to address the limited expertise in facial trauma available locally. According to Dr. Phuong Nguyen, the course was "timely and hopefully impactful" given Egypt's geographical location as a nexus for providing care to patients from nearby areas of conflict, including Gaza, Sudan, and the rest of the Middle East.
