AAMP

What AAMP does

The American Academy of Maxillofacial Prosthetics (AAMP) is a U.S.-based nonprofit professional membership association founded in 1953, serving the subspecialty of maxillofacial prosthodontics — dental rehabilitation for patients with head, neck, and facial defects from cancer, trauma, or congenital conditions. AAMP's membership comprises maxillofacial prosthodontists (Associate Fellows at $540/year, Affiliate Fellows at $450), licensed dental and maxillofacial technicians (Allied Health Tech Auxiliary at $285), students in ADA CODA-accredited prosthodontic programs (free), and senior life/retired tiers. The organization is operated by a lean staff of 6 employees, anchored at the Executive Secretary-Treasurer's office at Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha and conference administration in San Diego.

AAMP's product surface consists of annual scientific meetings (73rd scheduled for Chicago, November 7-10, 2026), a webinar series, the quarterly Connections newsletter, a public "Find a Maxillofacial Prosthodontist" directory, a job board, and student poster competitions with monetary prizes. Underlying infrastructure is conventional association management technology (Exware AMS, RES Seminars for conference administration) rather than proprietary technology. The organization maintains a structured fellowship credentialing pathway and supports board certification, with a multi-year initiative underway to secure a formal sub-specialty designation.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: recurring annual membership dues (priced $0-$540 across tiers), one-time annual meeting registrations ($225-$795 plus $175 workshops and $200 social events), and transaction fees on non-member job postings ($200). Go-to-market is event-driven, with member acquisition flowing through conference attendance, webinars, dental school partnerships, and referral networks. AAMP holds mutual MOUs with international counterpart organizations in the UK, Netherlands, Japan, Australia/New Zealand, and Latin America, enabling cross-attendance and scientific collaboration.
