Interdisciplinary Training:

Support from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau’s Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Other Related Disabilities (LEND) program has allowed us to create and maintain an interdisciplinary training model. Child clinical psychology fellows are part of the LEND program, which also includes pediatrics, social work, occupational and physical therapies, speech-language pathology, nutrition, neurology, psychiatry, education and audiology. Our fellows also actively participate in a structured series of interdisciplinary seminars, rounds and clinics. To ensure comprehensive interdisciplinary training, all fellows complete an individualized training plan (ITP).

Didactic Experiences:

All CNaP fellows have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of didactic seminars and grand rounds, both at Kennedy Krieger and through the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Primary didactic training in child and adolescent clinical psychology is achieved through a weekly series of seminars, including:

  • Professional Development Seminar
  • Case Conferences
  • Neurodevelopmental Disabilities Journal Club
  • Grand Rounds
