The mission of the Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy (FD&T) Committee is to establish evidence-based best practice guidelines in the area of fetal and perinatal medicine and educate the pediatric surgical community in the area of fetal medicine.  To achieve this goal, the FD&T Committee will build collaborations with other organizations to conduct high-quality clinical research in the field of fetal medicine.  The FD&T Committee will disseminate knowledge to the pediatric surgical community including pediatric surgeons, other healthcare practitioners, patients and their families.  The FD&T Committee will advocate for fetal patients, their families, and fetal providers within the pediatric surgical community.
