Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics Fellowship
Project Description:
The Developmental - Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) Fellowship mission is to improve the wellbeing of children with developmental and behavioral disabilities, their families and communities, we train developmental and behavioral pediatricians in an inclusive environment with diverse clinical and academic experiences. Our fellowship program's training is built upon the following foundational commitments:
- To value and focus on the importance of diverse interdisciplinary collaboration in caring for children with developmental and behavioral disabilities
- To foster a learning environment for our fellows that promotes scientific inquiry, cultural humility, and both personal and professional well-being
- To provide flexible training and mentorship that develops excellent independent subspecialty physicians and researchers who are life-long learners, educators, and advocates
The DBP is a three-year ACGME accredited program for pediatricians wanting a subspecialty focus that addresses the needs of the 1 in every 8 children and youth living with neurodevelopmental, behavioral and psychosocial impairment. Our fellowship prepares the next generation of physicians for careers that integrate diagnostic challenges, collaborative research, advocacy, long-term connections with the children and families they serve through consultation and ongoing treatment for their conditions. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be Board-eligible in the subspecialty of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics.
Our faculty members pursue a wide variety of clinical, research and advocacy interests and serve a diverse group of patients and families. Working closely with faculty, our fellows collaborate with other internal and external fellowship programs across departments and institutions to tailor a fellowship experience that best fits their interests and future goals.
Our core clinical rotations are located at three main sites: Seattle Children's Hospital, University of Washington Center on Human Development and Disability, and Madigan Army Medical Center.
