New Jersey Regional Chapter
The New Jersey Society for Adolescent Medicine is a multidisciplinary
organization comprised of physicians, social workers, nurses,
psychologists and students. We are devoted to improving adolescent
health in New Jersey. The Chapter was reorganized in
1998. We have had a spring and fall meeting each year,
and hold an additional meeting at the national SAM conference
in March. We welcome all New Jersey professionals interested
in adolescent medicine; you can join the local chapter without
being a member of the national SAM. Dues are $25.00 per year.
