Division of Developmental Pediatrics
The Division of Developmental Pediatrics is located at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children and at BC Children’s Hospital. Sunny Hill is a tertiary care provincial centre providing services to children from around the province.
The Division of Developmental Pediatrics promotes excellence in clinical practice, education, and research in child development and rehabilitation. Its mission is to develop, share and utilize new knowledge that will enhance the health of children with developmental conditions and their families.
Developmental Pediatrics is an active, evolving Division within the UBC Department of Pediatrics. In June 2001, the subspecialty received approval from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada to become a recognized Royal College accredited subspecialty program. This approval is the result of a great deal of work over almost a decade by many developmental pediatricians across Canada, including a number in this Division. During 2001/2002, Dr. O'Donnell chaired the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Task Force on Developmental Pediatrics, which is developing the subspecialty's national curriculum and accreditation standards.
