Chair of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Associate Dean for Hospital Affairs at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) Dr. Pushkar Mehra was recently elected by the Massachusetts Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (MSOMS) to serve as a Delegate to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS). 

The more than 9,000 members of the AAOMS are represented by a House of Delegates comprised of 100 elected members. The House of Delegates is the legislative and governing body of the national association. Dr. Mehra has been a member of the AAOMS since 1995.

"It is a great honor to represent Massachusetts in the AAOMS House of Delegates," said Dr. Mehra. "I look forward to working at the national level to promote public health, lobby for legislation that is favorable for our patients and surgeons, and raise money for dental research and education."

Dr. Mehra will serve as a Delegate for a three-year term. He is one of three Delegates representing the MSOMS. The Senior Delegate representing MSOMS at AAOMS is GSDM’s Director of the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Training Program/Advanced Specialty Education Program in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at Boston Medical Center and GSDM Dr. David Cottrell.

"Congratulations to Dr. Mehra for being elected to this prestigious Delegate position," said Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter. "I know that he will do an excellent job representing the Massachusetts Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons on a national level and on behalf of the entire GSDM community I wish him the best of luck in this new role."
