About
The purpose of the Craniofacial Growth and Development course is to provide foundational knowledge of the processes of craniofacial growth and development and their relationship that can be used to assess, diagnosis, and treat patients. Growth and development of the normal and abnormal craniofacial complex is presented from prenatal development through adulthood. Students will learn normal and some abnormal variations of craniofacial growth and development. Students will be able to relate such basic science information (e.g. developmental biology, clinical genetics) to craniofacial growth and development. When possible, these normal and variants of normal will be related to clinical situations.
