Developmental Behavioral Medical Education

Advancing Behavioral Pediatrics and Psychology Through Continuing Education Opportunities

The Division of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics and Psychology is strongly committed to education. We have fellowships in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics and also in Neuropsychology. We have weekly seminars in developmental-behavioral pediatrics and in neuropsychology. Pediatric and Med-Peds residents have required rotations in the division. Developmental-behavioral pediatricians direct the Global Health Program and the Community Advocacy Program. We have educational activities for medical students and residents and fellows from other disciplines.

Fellowship Training Programs

• Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics Fellowship

  We have three fellows in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics. The goal is to train to excellence in clinical care, education, research, advocacy, and leadership. Of our last 7 graduating fellows, six of seven have published on their research. Opportunities are available to develop careers that fit the goals of the fellow.
