アングル矯正歯科学会の入会審査に合格。

こんにちは、広島県福山市、福山駅前の矯正歯科専門クリニック、イロドリ矯正歯科です。

2025年5月1日〜4日 に米国ダラスにて開催されたSouthwest component Angle Society Meeting（アングル矯正歯科学会）に参加しました。

今回は、本学会に入会するため、当院にて治療を行なった５症例を提出し審査を受けました。提出した症例のカテゴリーは以下のように規定されており、とても厳しい基準がありました。審査の結果、無事合格することができ、アングル矯正歯科学会のAffiliate memberになることができました。今後は、毎年参加し、症例発表やプレゼンテーション、論文発表を行うことで、Active memberになることができます。

アングル矯正歯科学会は、世界最古の矯正歯科学会であり、最も権威がある学会です。矯正歯科医になった時から、憧れていた学会であり、今後は所属している素晴らしいメンバーから学び、当院にてより良い治療を提供できるように学び続けたいと思います。

次回は本年9月にBiennual Meeting が Nashvilleで開催されます。世界を代表するような素晴らしい先生方が講演をされるため、参加して学んできます。また、来年4月には、TucsonにてMeetingがあり、そこでは私がプレゼンテーションを行う予定です。
