The Craniofacial Plastic Surgery Fellowship provides an extremely active and broad-based program for understanding the diagnosis and treatment of craniofacial anomalies. It was begun in 1977 and has trained many of the now current international leaders in craniofacial surgery. Drs. Serletti, Bartlett, and Taylor are all acknowledged leaders in the field, and have active clinical schedules, as well as carrying out clinical and basic research. The exceptional facilities of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia coupled with the adult facilities of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, the breadth that the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area, and the regional, national and international reach of the program bring, allow a background for training that is unsurpassed.
