The educational programs of the Division of Developmental Pediatrics focus on fundamental knowledge regarding typical and atypical development, early identification and referral for developmental concerns, interdisciplinary and family-centered evaluation and treatment of developmental disorders, approaches to counseling families with chronic and complex disorders, and community resources and services to meet the child’s and family’s needs. The Developmental Pediatrics division plays an active role in the training of physicians, psychologists, social workers and community professionals.
All pediatric interns participate in a core rotation in the Developmental Pediatrics division. The division also offers elective rotations for pediatric residents and medical students, as well as trainees in other subspecialties including psychiatry and physical medicine and rehabilitation.
The Developmental Pediatrics division offers an intensive educational program for fellows, who are board-certified pediatricians electing to specialize in neurodevelopmental disabilities. In addition to didactic instruction, we offer clinical experiences through both the public and private systems, elective rotations in other subspecialties, advocacy experiences, and opportunities to engage with the community.
