A national program designed to promote the establishment of effective, mandatory, and comprehensive training at the residency level to prepare primary care pediatricians to serve handicapped children and their families is described. A structured curriculum designed for a clinical rotation in developmental pediatrics is presented in addition to a summary of the results of subjective and objective evaluations of the program. Evaluations clearly suggested the value of the program for both demonstration and replication sites. Follow-up of former residents new in pediatric practice futher supported the effectiveness of a rotation in developmental pediatrics based on a structured curriculum.
