Training Highly Qualified People Through Professional Development

The Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) National Training Program has a strong commitment to facilitating opportunities for the professional development of highly qualified people. We offer opportunities for trainees to learn and practice in areas of clinical and community applied research, family engagement in research (FER), patient oriented-community engagement, and evidence-informed policy development across sectors.

While I acquired technical skills and knowledge about the biology of neurodevelopmental conditions during my graduate training, it wasn’t until I joined the KBHN national training program that I began to understand the real-world health challenges and barriers experienced by affected children and their families. I learned how to solve real-world challenges and support a culture of evidence-informed decision-making – skills that are difficult to find in conventional academic programs.”
