Through the ACPA Visiting Scholar Program, one individual per year is identified as having the capacity to improve the delivery of team care to his/her local underserved region.  This scholar spends 4-6 weeks in North America, visits cleft and craniofacial centers and attends the ACPA Annual Meeting.  The scholar returns home and uses this experience to improve or establish the delivery of team care in his or her country.

Applications are due January 15, 2012 for the 2013 Visiting Scholar Program. more.
