The Malmquist Moy Herford Resident Travel Awards, administered by Osteo Science Foundation, provide financial assistance for residents to participate in events, conferences, and educational opportunities they otherwise could not attend. The program invests in residents’ professional development and supports participation in Oral and CranioMaxillofacial Surgery education. It reimburses attendance-related expenses rather than funding a standalone research project.
Supported opportunities have included AAOMS annual meetings, Clinical Trials Methods Courses, Dental Implant Conferences, Resident Transitions into Practice conferences, international OMS meetings, and the Foundation’s Bone Symposium. Since 2013, the Foundation has contributed more than $271,000 toward attendance at AAOMS and other OMS educational events, supporting over 314 residents.
