Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Pediatrics Fellowship

Curriculum—ACGME

Throughout our fellowship program in developmental-behavioral pediatrics, fellows take part in a wide range of educational opportunities:

First year ACGME Developmental-Behavioral Pediatric Fellows participate in the LEND Core Curriculum.
Educational experiences include informal and formal learning opportunities in a variety of clinical and classroom settings.
Weekly DBP seminars are scheduled throughout the fellowship; formal LEND and other class work is based in the Department of Community and Preventive Medicine and the Division of General Pediatrics.
Short-term elective rotations through related specialties (e.g. Pediatric Neurology, Genetics, NICU Follow-up, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Adolescent Health) provide opportunities to learn about developmental-behavioral issues from the perspective of collaborating sub-specialists
Training activities emphasize development of sensitivity to family systems and cultural factors as they affect care.
Fellows may also take formal courses leading to a Master's in Public Health (MPH).
