Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics
Education Overview
The University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics and The Children's Hospital offers a three-year fellowship in developmental and behavioral pediatrics. The goal of the fellowship is to provide physicians who are board eligible in pediatrics with in-depth training in child development that will prepare them for a career in clinical or academic medicine.
Training for residents in developmental and behavioral pediatrics involves intensive clinical training in all aspects of clinical developmental and behavioral pediatrics, as well as development of clinical and/ or basic research skills and academic and practical work in leadership practice.
Developmental and behavioral pediatrics is an integral component of the pediatric clerkship curriculum for third-year medical students at the University of Colorado Denver.
Our faculty provides lectures in developmental and behavioral pediatrics and observations of programs and home visits with families who have children with special health care needs as part of the experience.
An elective in Child Development and Behavior is available for fourth-year medical students who have successfully completed a pediatric clerkship.
