Fellow
Baylor College of Medicine
Houston, Texas
Baylor College of Medicine Section for Transition Medicine is offering a one-year Developmental Medicine Fellowship starting July 1st, 2024. The fellowship aims to train Med-Peds, Family, or Internal Medicine physicians as leaders in the care of individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Just as pediatricians have trained in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities, our fellows will be
experts on the healthcare needs for adults with these conditions. The yearlong fellowship will develop the individual into a national leader and advocate for adults with diagnoses of autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, spina bifida, and other conditions associated with intellectual disabilities. This is a new, emerging, and necessary field of training supported by American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry
(AADMD) and Special Olympics. This fellowship is funded by a joint training grant with our Department of Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics through the Health Resources and Services Administration Maternal and Child Health Bureau. The fellow is expected to present a quality improvement project or small research project to a national organization such as AADMD, AUCD, or AACPDM.
