About the Program
The Neurodevelopmental Disabilities Residency at Baylor College of Medicine was developed by the joint efforts of the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology to provide an interdisciplinary and comprehensive program. This program provides specialized training for those interested in the evaluation and management of children with a wide variety of neurodevelopmental disorders.
The NDD residency involves a rigorous six-year residency program that combines pediatric and neurological training in the relevant basic sciences with supervised clinical training in the diagnosis and care of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Upon completion of the residency, the graduate will be eligible for certification in Pediatrics, Neurology with special competence in Child Neurology and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities.
