2020 Scientific Session
A virtual, GLOBAL event! - August 28-29, 2020
Earn up to 16 CE or CME Credits!

Working through these hard times with COVID and finding solutions for your practice!
Why attend AAOSH 2020?
We know that you have been "zooming" a lot, and worry that when you read AAOSH was going virtual you groaned, "Ugghh, not AAOSH too?" Well, fear not!
Experience a virtual event like NOTHING else you have done this year! Interact with other attendees, sponsors, and speakers!
Besides incredible timely content that will add value and revenue to your practice, we have devised some great surprises! Topics will include COVID-19 testing in the dental practice and the role of microbiome in a viral pandemic, along with newly premiered testing options offered by our AAOSH sponsors - Mitoswab, Viome, Oral DNA, Xlear. Even on the virtual platform, the sponsor booths will be highly interactive!
Most of us go to meetings for the fun and networking as much as for the content, and we have found some great ways to be sure you get that TOO! We will have virtual chat rooms, small size breakout rooms, workshops and special events with prizes, and live Q&A with panels for discussions. Small size breakouts will give you the chance to get extra time with speakers and colleagues alike, so everyone can become expert in something new, as well as to make new friends and contacts to keep in touch with until our next live meeting.
The information and takeaways will help position you and your practice for greater immediate success, with extra support and tools to help you wrap up this year and enter into 2021.
