Skeletal Dysplasia Management Consortium
Growing Stronger is a sponsor of this year's Skeletal Dysplasia Management Consortium (SDMC) annual meeting. The SDMC's mandate is to improve the lives of people with skeletal dysplasia by optimizing clinical management. The SDMC brings together expert physicians in treating patients with skeletal dysplasia, providing an international, multidisciplinary forum for scientific exchange and education in the expanding field in the clinical care of patients with skeletal dysplasias.
