Division of Developmental Medicine

The DBP fellowship program begins with a primarily clinical first year during which trainees learn about a range of developmental and behavioral pediatric conditions in both hospital and community settings.  Fellows further refine their research project focus within the first year with support of a research mentor and then spend 2 months at the beginning of their second year participating in an intensive research experience in the clinical research program at the Harvard School of Public Health.  Each fellow uses the final two years of the fellowship to develop an area of clinical expertise while conducting a mentored research project and gaining knowledge and skills in quality improvement.
