Description
This program is designed for basic science researchers,
general pediatricians, dentists, plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons
and clinical geneticists who wish to enlighten themselves
with the new results in the molecular biology and clinical
management of craniofacial development and placing those
results into clinical context. This is not an annual
event, instead, a unique opportunity to hear from world-wide
experts in this rapidly growing field.
Objectives
Following this program, the participant should be able
to:
- Identify the genes implicated in craniofacial dysmorphology
- Identify the transmission process for those genes
- Identify the concomitant environmental factors
- Describe the developmental process of craniofacial
development
- Plan an appropriate diagnostic and treatment approach
to the newborn with a craniofacial abnormality.
