Developmental Pediatrics

Catalog description

The elective in Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics at NYU Long Island is designed to help students develop an analytical approach to the diagnosis and management of developmental behavioral disorders in children. The students will have the opportunity to be involved in outpatient consultations in the Developmental Behavioral Pediatric clinic. Approximately around 20-30 new consultations are completed a month and the students will participate and learn how to do a developmental behavioral consultation with the clinician. The students will also be involved in providing follow-up care to 6 to 8 patients with developmental and behavioral disorders per day, including exposure in the medication follow-up clinic. The division works closely with the Genetics Clinic, the PRM Clinic, and the Child and Adolescent Clinic. Students will have educational experiences in each of these areas.
