CRANIOMAXILLOFACIAL
SURGERY COURSE

6TH CRANIOMAXILLOFACIAL COURSE
Thursday 2 - Saturday 4 October 2025
QT, Queenstown, New Zealand
The 6th Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) Surgery Course is proudly presented by the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons and endorsed by the Australian & New Zealand Society of Craniomaxillofacial Surgeons.
​
The course will be held over 3 days from Thursday 2nd - Saturday 4th October 2025 at the QT Hotel and adjoining Rydges Lakeland Resort Queenstown, New Zealand.
​
The Course faculty are senior clinicians with special interests in craniomaxillofacial surgery and registrar training. Trainee exposure to CMF surgery varies between units and thus the CMF Course aims to develop interest in this area and provide trainees with comprehensive teaching of this area of the curriculum. The course provides an excellent grounding for registrars, and is invaluable when preparing for the fellowship exam. The course is content heavy, but the faculty will welcome attendees to engage with them to maximise their learning.
​
Topics covered include craniofacial growth and development, cleft lip and palate, cephalometry and orthognathic surgery, paediatric craniofacial surgery, and craniomaxillofacial trauma along with dental and bone tumours and cysts. A comprehensive book of notes is provided to each attendee, and a practice exam is offered at the end of the course. This exam should not be seen as intimidating, it is intended for practice purposes only.
​
The Craniomaxillofacial Surgery Course is strictly not for profit. The registration fee covers the cost of the venue, catering, course workbook printing and the travel, meals and accomodation of the faculty. The faculty provide their time and expertise pro bono.
​
Numbers are limited for CMF Queenstown 2025 so we urge attendees to register promptly to secure their place. If oversubscribed, priority for registration will be given to accredited trainees of the Australian and New Zealand Plastic Surgery training programs and international medical graduates who have registered to sit the Plastic and Reconstructive Fellowship exam. Unaccredited registrars, residents and overseas-trained fellows with an interest in this specialty are very welcome to attend if numbers allow.
​
We also welcome the support of our industry partners and look forward to your participation in this important educational event in 2025.
