The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery faculty are well-known in their respective fields and highly regarded as knowledgeable and highly competent clinicians.

The majority of the OMS faculty have extensive experience and are highly sought after for continuing education programs by local, state, regional, national and international organizations.

They appear in programs as contracted individuals, not as representatives of the Texas A&M Health Science Center. Although the speakers do occasionally share information pro bono, like most professional speakers they generally require an honorarium to compensate them for the extensive preparation time and time away from their private practices at the College, plus reasonable expenses, coach airfare, and housing costs. There is no fixed or standard honorarium. Honorariums differ from speaker to speaker and from program to program, and should be discussed with each doctor individually. See the biographies of each faculty member for information on topics the individual doctors speak on.

Most faculty members are also available as educational speakers for programs for lay organizations, on a wide variety of topics related to dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, emergency management, pain and anxiety control, and clinical pharmacotherapeutics.

The Dr. P. Earle Williams Memorial Lectureship

Each year, in mid-January, the Baylor College of Dentistry's Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery hosts this tuition-free continuing education experience which was established to honor the memory of Dr. P. Earle Williams (1905-1997). Selected speakers in the specialty are known and respected for their clinical knowledge and experience, who have some past connections with BCD, and who are known to have a sense of humor. These criteria were in keeping with the family of Dr. Williams, who was considered the "Dean" of North Texas oral surgery.
