APPLYING THE BUSINESS TEAM MODEL TO CREATE EXCELLENCE IN CRANIOFACIAL TEAM FUNCTIONING
This session will review the current and seminal research regarding team functioning in both the business and medical fields and will apply the most salient aspects to create a bluepriht for the creation and maintenance of effective and efficient craniofacial team care. Through lecture and audience participation, participants will be able to apply the concepts of team formulation/cycles, managing conflict/dysfunction, team collaboration, managing roles on teams, and team process training to their own teams.

THE HOWS AND WHYS OF HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH AND COSTS OF CLEFT AND CRANIOFACIAL CARE
Panelists will discuss the importance of health services research and costs of cleft and craniofacial care. Panelists will summarize the findings from recent studies and highlight the implications of health services research and cost studies for families and health care providers. Attendees will learn about methods for conducting health services research and cost studies for cleft and craniofacial malformations, including available datasets and potential collaborations for these studies.

NASOPHARYNGOSCOPY: HOW TO OBTAIN A GOOD EXAMINATION AND THEN USE IT FOR SURGICAL PLANNING AND EVALUATION OF SURGICAL OUTCOMES
In this session, the presenters will describe the nasopharyngoscopy procedure, including tips and tricks to elicit cooperation from even very young children. The presenters will describe how nasopharyngoscopy can be used to determine the size, shape, location and cause of the velopharyngeal opening in order to determine which surgical procedure has the best chance of a successful outcome. This lecture will include many videos for the discussion.

DEVELOPMENTAL PEDIATRICS IN CLEFT CARE
This study session’s purpose is to promote the understanding of preschool developmental diagnostic profiles and discuss assessment and management strategies for this group of children. The participants will develop their ability to understand the various diagnostic and descriptive terminology used in developmental care, will review a differential diagnosis for language delay and for “global” developmental delays and will learn data gathering questions and direct assessment strategies to assist in their developmental diagnostic profile formulation.

LINKING THE BRIDGE BETWEEN VIRTUAL AND ACTUAL ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY(OGS): THE INTRODUCTION OF SURGICAL POSITIONING GUIDES (SPG)
Computer-aided design and modeling (CAD/CAM) has revolutionized treatment planning for orthognathic surgery. It has eliminated traditional techniques of indirect measurements, 2-D cephalometry, face bow transfer and articulated model surgery. We have developed CAD/CAM-derived intra-operative surgical positioning guides (SPG) to translate the accuracy of CAD/CAM technology into the operating room, allowing the surgeon to perform exacting surgery. This course will instruct surgeons and orthodontists with the use of this new technique.

EMERGING AUTONOMY: WORKING WITH ADOLESCENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF TEAM CARE
This study session will: (1) describe the cognitive and emotional stages of development through adolescence, (2) address the ethical and legal aspects of confidentiality and autonomy through adolescence, (3) describe a family-systems approach to managing the transition from childhood to adult services including transition plans, and (4) engage participants in case-based discussions designed to apply the concepts presented to clinical decision-making in the context of cleft and craniofacial team care.

NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX FEEDING NEEDS OF CHILDREN WITH CRANIOFACIAL CONDITIONS: FROM BIRTH TO BONEGRAFT
Feeding the newborn with a craniofacial condition has received much attention in the literature and is often the primary focus of feeding programs however a well-outlined and supported feeding program is essential for each stage of child development as it relates to surgical procedures. The purpose of this study session is to review feeding tools and strageties for the newborn as well as the transitional period to cups and solid foods. We will also review the special needs of children going through alveolar bone grafting procedures with emphasis on feeding strategies and diet enhancement.

SIMPLIFIED NASO ALVEOLAR MOLDING TO IMPROVE CLEFT LIP AND NASAL RECONSTRUCTION
Nasoalveolar molding is increasingly used to improve the lip, nose and alveolar segments prior to lip repair resulting in improved aesthetic outcomes. The technique remains labor intensive and is not available in all centers. Simplified alternatives will be presented. The session is designed for surgeons, dentists, orthodontists, and other cleft care "first responders” to become critical observers and acquire practical techniques in neonatal nasal molding, simplified nasal alveolar molding, and alternatives to NAM.
