The American Society of Craniofacial Surgeons (ASCFS) provides oversight of the fellowship. The ASCFS is a national society that serves to furnish leadership and foster advances in craniofacial surgery. To ensure that every fellowship provides a consistent and comprehensive learning experience to fellows, the ASCFS has created a formal structure that enables each craniofacial fellowship program to earn accreditation status.
Accreditation signifies that a program provides the elements deemed essential for a graduating fellow to provide appropriate care in the area of craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery.
