title: Priorities for the education of members of the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgery.
abstract: We present the complete results of our 2013 survey of the members of the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgery (ASMS). We surveyed all 799 members of the Society from around the world regarding educational themes and modalities they wish to add to future ASMS educational programs. We also asked our members about surgical modalities and care paths in which they have the most expertise. The objective of the survey was to provide data that can be used to improve the education and training of the ASMS members. The results suggest that some widely taught topics perhaps should be taught less, whereas coverage of other topics should be increased.
