Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics Residency Training
Introduction
The Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) Rotation prepares pediatric residents to manage a variety of developmental and behavioral concerns encountered in pediatric practice. The rotation framework considers children according to varying levels of risk:
Typically developing children
Children at risk for developmental and behavioral problems by virtue of biomedical or psychosocial factors
Children with specific developmental and behavioral disorders
The rotation provides the trainee with a breadth of experiences through existing relationships between the Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics Division and
Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCHS)
Community Partners
The various clinical and community settings allow the trainee to become familiar with the social, economic, environmental and medical factors that contribute to the developmental and behavioral health of children. In addition, trainees will attend lectures, tutorials, and discussions with rotation staff to build and reflect on their experiences.
