A three‐day workshop was designed for practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeons to review the clinical skills needed for preoperative assessment. The intent of the workshop was to prepare participants for broader hospital privileges under the new recommendations of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. The course was characterized by small group interaction and team‐teaching involving physicians and oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Instruction included observation of simulated cases, a review of the documentation of such encounters, lecture‐discussions, and examination of patients with positive physical findings.
