What do Adolescent Medicine Pediatricians do?
Adolescent medicine pediatricians focus on the unique physical, psychological, and social needs of teenagers and young adults by treating conditions like eating disorders, mental health issues, and reproductive health concerns, while also providing primary and preventive care such as immunizations and sports physicals.
They are specially trained to manage the complex health challenges of this transitional life stage, which includes addressing issues like acne, substance use, and developmental problems.
These specialists use a comprehensive approach that often involves protecting patient confidentiality and independence, and sometimes ask the patient to speak with them alone to build trust and a strong doctor-patient relationship.
Comprehensive care
They manage a wide range of physical, developmental, and behavioral issues, from chronic illnesses like asthma to common problems like acne.
Mental and emotional health
They address mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, and mood changes, and guide high-risk behaviors.
Reproductive and sexual health
They offer specialized care for reproductive health needs, including gynecologic exams, and can discuss sexual identity in a confidential setting.
Preventive care
They provide essential preventive care, like immunizations, sports physicals, and screenings for sexually transmitted infections.
Specialty care
They may also lead specialty clinics for issues like eating disorders, gender health care, or chronic conditions such as PCOS.
Transition to adulthood
They help prepare adolescents to manage their own health care as they transition to adult medicine by encouraging them to take an active role in their appointments and by fostering conversations with parents about important health topics.
Key differences from a general pediatrician
While a general pediatrician cares for infants, children, and adolescents, an adolescent medicine specialist focuses on the unique health challenges of adolescence and young adulthood, including puberty, identity formation, and increased independence.
Confidentiality
Adolescent medicine specialists are trained to handle sensitive topics confidentially (within the limits of the law) to build trust and encourage patients to open up about their health and concerns.
Comprehensive approach
They integrate the physical, psychological, and social aspects of a patient’s life into their care plans, recognizing that these factors are all interconnected during this developmental period.
