Seeking Patient Care?
The more than 19,000 patients and families who visit the Mailman Center each provide the basis for advanced clinical training.
Mailman Center trainees participate in the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopment Disabilities (LEND) program while also completing a clinical training program. We offer 32 training rotations that are interdisciplinary and structured around a specific condition or disability, disease or trauma resulting in acquired disability, or type of intervention. The clinical training experiences may be hospital-based, Center-based, or community-based but most involve consultation across settings. Clinical trainees are supervised by their disciplinary faculty to address professional competencies and practice, and by an interdisciplinary supervisor who emphasizes relationships between discipline-specific skills and knowledge and synthesized interdisciplinary knowledge and skills. The clinical experiences are evidence-based and involve working closely with families to develop plans of care, coordination of care, and follow-up to assess outcomes.
