Program Details
Fellows have a multitude of diverse outpatient experiences which help them develop their expertise in the clinical diagnosis and management of developmental delays and disabilities and associated behavioral challenges. The wide range of conditions we treat include but are not limited to autism, intellectual disability, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, complex ADHD, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and developmental differences associated with genetic conditions.
The research activities of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics are far-ranging and diverse, but all focus on clinically relevant concerns related to the health and well-being of children with developmental delays and disabilities.
Opportunities exist for fellows to fulfill their research requirements while pursuing an advanced degrees, such as Master of Public Health (M.P.H.). Ninety-five percent of tuition is covered by the University.
The University of Rochester is member of the Association for University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD). All fellows participate in our interdisciplinary Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and related Disabilities (LEND) program. UR LEND
Fellows are an integral part of the division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics and work with the team in serving as a resource to the community and teaching other trainees within the University of Rochester.
