We are recruiting for a 1st year Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics Fellow to start July 2026.
The Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) training program offers clinical, academic and advocacy training in the context of an urban setting. Our primary clinical training site is at Boston Medical Center, which is the largest safety net hospital in New England and has a long-standing commitment to providing exceptional care without exception. Special emphasis is placed on the DBP issues families face living in the inner city.
For interested applicants, the fellowship also offers a special focus on child advocacy/child protection, impact of malnutrition on development, the effects of witnessing violence on youth and/or autism and disparities of diagnosis and treatment, among other topics.
The DBP fellowship at BMC was founded in the mid 1970’s and became a freestanding Division at that time as well. We have a longstanding history of training DBP clinicians to pursue academic, research and clinically focused careers in DBP, treating youth with a range of developmental and behavioral disabilities. We are an ACGME accredited subspecialty fellowship since the inception of the field in 2002.
