Division of Developmental Medicine

Entry into the fellowship program is at the PL-4 level (fourth year post-M.D.) or later.  Fellows receive a concurrent appointment of Clinical Fellow at Harvard Medical School as they participate in the teaching of medical students and housestaff.

Applications and inquiries from physicians seeking training are always welcome. The Division is particularly interested in applications from highly qualified minority pediatricians. A visit to the Division and its programs will usually provide a comprehensive picture of the Division’s activities, clinical programs and an opportunity to meet with current fellows.

The application should be completed and returned as early as possible to allow time for interviews. We participate in the DBP fellowship match. For questions related to the match please contact Sandra Maislen 617-355-4218. Applications may be submitted prior to November 1^st the year prior to the anticipated start date.

International candidates: International medical graduates may apply. However, our DBP fellowship is partially funded by the U.S. Federal government, and stipends are generally limited to U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Due to limitations on faculty resources, we cannot accommodate observational experiences; all fellows must be fully licensed and credentialed so that they can participate in patient care. International fellowship applicants must have passed the ECFMG examination and have a valid, current certificate as a prerequisite to any other visa or license application. In addition, international applicants must be fluent in both written and spoken English. Inquiries regarding specific individual circumstances may be directed to Sandra Maislen.
