Adolescent Medicine is a medical subspecialty dedicated to the unique medical and developmental needs of adolescents and young adults. Specialists in this field complete a three-year fellowship after pediatrics residency, gaining advanced training in the complex intersections of physical health, mental health, behavior, identity, and social context during the second decade of life and beyond.

Adolescent Medicine physicians are experts in:

• Mental health and substance use

• Reproductive and sexual health

• Eating disorders and disordered eating

• Chronic illness management during adolescence

• Confidential, developmentally appropriate care

This specialty combines the medical depth of pediatrics with a nuanced understanding of adolescent development, identity formation, and the evolving roles of family, autonomy, and community.

Here, Adolescent Medicine is not just one offering—it’s the foundation of our approach. We provide whole-person care that is grounded in science, guided by compassion, and deeply attuned to the realities of growing up today.
