Carolina Cleft Lip & Palate Clinic
In February of 2002, Richard C. Hagerty, M.D. traveled to Haiti
to train Dr. DeFay, a Haitian surgeon, in some of the latest techniques
in cleft lip and palate surgery. There was an exchange of knowledge
about cleft surgery and successful operations were performed. The
Smile Train’s Education and Training Grant funded a portion of Dr.
Hagerty’s trip.
On June 21st, 2002, The University of North Carolina Craniofacial
Center is hosting a symposium entitled "Not Just Lip Service: Caring
for the Child with a Cleft Lip and Palate." The symposium, led by
Amelia F. Drake, M.D., aims to enhance understanding of practitioners
and speech professionals in issues relating to cleft care. An Education
& Training Grant funded by the Smile Train helped fund the symposium.
