"Oral and maxillofacial surgeons occupy a unique and important niche in healthcare," said Dr. Jee following his election. "From third molar and dental implant surgery to the more complex orthognathic surgeries, trauma care, sleep apnea procedures, and oral cancer and reconstructive surgeries, OMSs are singularly qualified to perform a broad range of surgical procedures that improve the lives and save the faces of our patients. As the president-elect of the AAOMS, I look forward to furthering the goals of the Association and helping our fellows and members provide the full scope of OMS practice to their patients."

Dr. Jee is a diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and an AAOMS fellow. A delegate to the AAOMS House of Delegates for nearly 10 years prior to his terms as trustee, he was named 2004 Committee Person of the Year in recognition of his service on the AAOMS Committee on Continuing Education and Professional Development, which plans and oversees implementation of all association professional continuing education programs.

In addition to AAOMS, Dr. Jee has been treasurer, parliamentarian and speaker of the Maryland State Dental Society; past president of the Maryland Society of OMS, and a member of the executive board of the Middle Atlantic Society of OMS. His professional affiliations include the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, International Society of Cleft Lip/Palate, American Dental Society of Anesthesiologists and Academy of Osseointegration. He is a graduate of the University of Louisville School of Medicine and Dentistry, and completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC.
