   UPDATE: This program is now full, however, if you are interested, please contact us with your information so we can keep you posted about future offerings of this activity.

The REACH Institute (REsource for Advancing Children's Health), under the directorship of Peter S. Jensen, M.D., has partnered with leading researchers and practitioners to develop an innovative Mini-Fellowship to help your practice achieve confidence in delivering pediatric behavioral healthcare.
