The Division of Craniofacial Medicine aims to provide and coordinate the highest–quality interdisciplinary care of patients with congenital and acquired craniofacial conditions. Our academic focus spans the fields of epidemiology, genetics, developmental biology and clinical research. We provide outpatient and inpatient care and comprehensive consultations at Seattle Children's Hospital and the University of Washington Medical Center
The craniofacial medicine faculty coordinate care through our comprehensive interdisciplinary team clinic and several specialty clinics. These clinics include the Plagiocephaly Clinic, which focuses on the diagnosis and management of postnatal deformational plagiocephaly; the Prenatal Clinic, which provides prenatal assessment, education and counseling for mothers and families after the prenatal diagnosis of a craniofacial condition; the 22q clinic which provides wrap around care for children with 22q deletion syndrome, and the Craniofacial Genetics Clinic, which provides focused diagnostic evaluations, education and counseling for families affected by craniofacial conditions. These clinical programs provide long-term management of children with craniofacial conditions, including nutrition, family education, counseling and transition to adult care. We also pursue state-of-the-art clinical research to develop improved diagnostic, preventive and health care delivery strategies.

The Division of Craniofacial medicine supports interdisciplinary research. Our mission is to foster research that parallels our clinical center to remain an international leader in craniofacial-related science.
The Division of Craniofacial Medicine in the University of Washington Department of Pediatrics is accepting applications for subspecialty clinical and research training in craniofacial medicine.
Drawing on the clinical and research expertise of our team and the broader university community, we offer a variety of training opportunities ranging from one-year clinical fellowships to three year fellowships with training in molecular biology, developmental biology, epidemiology, bioethics, clinical outcomes research, molecular genetics, and public health sciences, among other disciplines. The goal of our fellowship program is to train pediatric providers to become members of cleft and craniofacial teams while providing the scientific training necessary to become successful independent investigators for those who want to pursue academic careers.
