The AACP created the Haden-Stack Award in 1998 to honor Dr. Jack Haden and Dr. Brendan Stacks, who have made significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge and clinical practice in the field of Craniofacial Pain (CFP) and Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD).
“[Dr. Moses] exemplifies unselfish desire to educate others and has shown exemplary and extraordinary contributions to the advancement of knowledge and clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of CFP and TMD,” said Dr. H.
