ACPA is excited to announce the launch of the Student-Trainee Chapter (STC)! The STC is a new initiative designed to bring together students and trainees from across all disciplines and stages of education who share a passion for cleft and craniofacial care.
Whether you’re a master’s student, PhD candidate, medical student, resident, dental student, or pursuing a cleft/craniofacial fellowship, the STC is for you. Please note that the STC is available for ACPA student or early career members only.
Goals of the STC:
- Increase Exposure: Introduce students and trainees to the cleft/craniofacial field and the various subspecialties involved, expanding their knowledge and fostering a passion for the field.
- Broaden Engagement: Encourage students and trainees to actively participate in ACPA’s offerings and opportunities.
- Peer Networking and Interdisciplinary Relationships: Facilitate relationships between peers across disciplines, allowing for collaboration, mentorship, and support.
- Career Development: Provide resources, guidance, and connections to help students and trainees navigate their career paths in the cleft and craniofacial field.
