The 4th Annual Dr. P. Earle Williams Lectureship in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery attracted nearly 150 doctors to Baylor College of Dentistry Jan. 19. Dr. Stephen B. Milam (BCD '79), an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in San Antonio, was the featured speaker.

"This memorial lectureship continues to draw more people each year," said Dr. Roger Alexander, lectureship coordinator and professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

"Several participants remarked that this year's presentation was the best continuing education program they've attended recently."Alexander opened the program by introducing Williams' eldest son, Dr. Phillip Williams Jr., a Dallas neurologist. He shared stories that recalled his father's humor, caring and leadership. Milam then presented "The Future of Temporomandibular Joint Treatment."

"We are proud to have the privilege of honoring the memory of Dr. Williams, the dean of North Texas oral surgery, by hosting such a distinguished and valuable continuing education forum in his name," said Dr. Gil Triplett, Regents professor and chair of oral and maxillofacial surgery/pharmacology.

Next year's lectureship will feature Dr. James B. Holton Jr. (BCD '68, '71), an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Tyler, Texas. It is scheduled tentatively for Jan. 18, 2003.

Made possible through the generous, voluntary contributions of Williams' colleagues and sponsorship by the Walter Lorenz Surgical Company and David Werntz, its Dallas distributor, the lectureship is tuition-free. Three hours of continuing education credit is provided to participants.
