As the second largest Department in the UW School of Medicine, Pediatrics has twenty-one clinical divisions with approximately 1,400 academic appointments, including approximately 650 paid faculty members, 134 residents, 70 ACGME fellows, 230 staff employees and over 600 volunteer/affiliate faculty and continues to grow each year.

The Mission of the Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) Programs at the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital is: To maximize the lifelong potential of children and families affected by neurodevelopmental & behavioral conditions through collaboration, compassionate medical care, advocacy, education and research.

The Division supports training at all levels and hosts a robust fellowship program with two fellows per year (6 total). Our faculty also engage in bench, translational, and clinical research focused on understanding neurodevelopmental conditions and improving the lives of those affected by them. Division faculty play key leadership, research, and clinical roles at the UW Institute on Human Development and Disability which houses Federally funded programs including Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND), University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD), Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC), and others.
