About SDMC

Welcome to the home of the Skeletal Dysplasia Management Consortium (SDMC). We are a multidisciplinary group of member clinicians who are experts in the field of skeletal dysplasia and are dedicated to improving the clinical management of skeletal dysplasia.

The SDMC was founded in 2014 through an inaugural meeting in Seattle, hosted by Klane White, MD, and Michael Goldberg, MD, both of Seattle Children’s Hospital. All founding members were in attendance at the meeting, which was held at a camp in Carnation, Washington, which had annual camp events for young people with skeletal dysplasia. We meet annually to develop guidelines for the treatment of patients with skeletal dysplasia.
