Applications for the neurodevelopmental disability categorical and advanced positions are processed through the NRMP and ERAS. 1 year NDD fellowships are not currently offered through the match, rather if you are interested, you should reach out directly to the program directors.
NDD programs may have one or any combination of three different types of positions available through the Match, so pay close attention to which one(s) you would like to apply for.
To learn more about which programs are offering specific types of positions, check out the child neurology society website where it lists all of this in detail for the upcoming year.
As a reminder, below are the 3 types of programs available (more detail is provided in the training pathway section):
- Categorical: A combined 6 year training completed all in the same institution (for applications who have not completed an ACGME-accredited pediatric residency previously)
- Advanced: A 4 year NDD training available after completion of a two-year pediatric program, but applied for at that same time as you apply for a pediatric residency (for applications who have not completed an ACGME-accredited pediatric residency previously)
- Reserved: A 4 year NDD training available after completion of a two- OR three-year pediatric program, applied for during or after the completion of the pediatric training (for applicants who have completed at least 1 year of an ACGME-accredited pediatric residency)
