The AAOMS Challenge Coin Award 2026 TSOMS Recipients

Dr. Steve Koo, DDS, and Dr. John V. Shroyer, III, DDS

The AAOMS Challenge Coin is awarded to the elite few who, through their efforts, transcend those of their colleagues to further the specialty through advocacy. Recipients receiving this honor designate significant portions of their time and effort to ensure our specialty thrives by personally advocating at the local, state, and federal levels for our profession and patients. Such tasks include testifying before legislative bodies on our practice model and traveling the country to defend our anesthesia model. A full explanation of the history of challenge coins and current recipients are available at AAOMS.org/Challenge.  

The TSOMS thanks Dr. Koo and Dr. Shroyer for their exceptional leadership, advocacy, and sustained dedication to advancing the profession.
