Why join
SAM? Answers from a few non-MDs….

Why are
you a SAM member?
I became a SAM member in the early 80's after completing
an adolescent health training program. It was then and
remains now a terrific home base from which to keep current
with changes in adolescent health, network with colleagues,
be stimulated by research and practice innovations and
advocate on behalf of adolescents. |

How did you come to be a member of SAM?
I attended one meeting at the request of my mentor
and was hooked! At my first meeting I felt valued
as professional and I had immediate opportunity to
become involved.

Why do you attend SAM
conferences?
As someone who does research with adolescent participants,
I think it is vital to be aware of this age group’s
physical, emotional and social concerns. At a SAM conference,
besides enjoying time with great colleagues, I can easily
learn the “latest” about teenagers. It keeps
me in the know. |
