Application Deadline: November 1, 2024

The Developmental Medicine Center (DMC) at Boston Children’s Hospital is dedicated to improving the lives of children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental, learning, and behavioral difficulties, and their families, through integrated and collaborative clinical care, training, translational research, neuroscience, and community engagement. The interdisciplinary staff comprises developmental-behavioral pediatricians, child psychologists, educational specialists, nurse practitioners, neurologists, and child psychiatrists; in addition, there is the opportunity to consult, as needed, with specialists from a variety of programs including Speech-Language, Sleep Disorders, and Genetics. As a tertiary care site, the DMC accepts referrals for children with neurodevelopmental and behavioral challenges that are not well met in the general medical and mental health communities.

Applicants should have substantial clinical experience with children, including use and interpretation of psychological and neuropsychological tests, coursework in child development and developmental psychopathology, and experience with evidence-based treatment and developmental disabilities; training and competence in addressing issues of diversity and individual differences; and a commitment to clinical research.

Questions about the DMC fellowship are best addressed via email to Kate Linnea, PhD, at kate.linnea@childrens.harvard.edu.
