Current Environment:

Boston Children’s is a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, where all of our physicians are also faculty. Our clinicians are also involved in research to improve our understanding of Kabuki syndrome and, we hope, discover new treatments. The team speaks multiple languages including English, Italian, German, French and Mandarin. Interpreter services are available for other languages.
