Project Description:

Goals and Objectives: The goals and objectives of the Baylor College of Medicine DBP Training Program are to 1) train leaders in DBP by increasing the size of our DBP fellowship program and continuing our interdisciplinary curriculum focused on clinical care, research, leadership, education, and advocacy; 2) train providers to manage DBP diagnoses across the lifespan by training physician mini fellows as experts in healthcare transition and lifespan care; 3) train local and rural primary care pediatricians via DBP mini-fellowships, DBP Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) rounds, and technical assistance activities; and 4) expand access to care for our bilingual families and to support Title V community agencies through needs assessments that inform the delivery of technical assistance activities.
