The program will offer specialized training and credentialing to a general pediatrician in the field of developmental-behavioral pediatrics, according to a July 13 news release. Funding for the program is provided by a $30,000 grant from the Frances L. and Edwin L. Cummings Memorial Fund and a $10,750 grant from Impact 100 Garden State.

The pediatrician will receive credentials through a nine-month accelerated course in neurodevelopmental and related disabilities through the New Jersey Leadership Education Program.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place October 20–22 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
