2018 Catalog: General Courses

This course, part of the ongoing Grand Rounds CE Lecture Series at the Kayenta Health Center, will focus on cleft lip and cleft palate, special considerations, and utilizing the entire healthcare team in management of these patients. Compared to other racial/ethnic groups, Native Americans are at a significantly higher risk for cleft lip/palate. We have many providers new to our patient population who are not aware of the higher risks that our patients have for a number of conditions. There is a gap in knowledge about the prevalence, causes and treatment options for cleft lip/palate in our patient population. The knowledge gained from this presentation will allow them to support those patients with orofacial clefts before, during and after specialist intervention.

This course is open to staff at the Kayenta Service Unit only.

As a result of participating in this activity, the healthcare team will:
1.   Examine the prevalence and causes of cleft lip/palate.
2.   Recognize and assess cleft lip/palate to determine optimal treatment options.
3.   Apply a team approach to managing patients with cleft lip/palate.
