Overview
SAM is committed to enhancing access to high quality health
care for adolescents by supporting the training of all health
professionals who care for adolescents.
Professionals from a wide variety of disciplines - including
medicine, nursing, psychology, public health, social work,
nutrition, law and sociology - become specialists in adolescent
health by pursuing post-graduate coursework and/or clinical
training. Physicians trained in pediatrics, internal medicine
or family medicine begin a career in adolescent medicine,
a board-certified medical specialty, with fellowship training.
SAM provides an annually updated roster of training opportunities
in adolescent medicine and health - accessible by selecting
the Fellowships/Training
link.
SAM members help to plan and coordinate professional adolescent
health education programs. More information on educational
opportunities can be found by selecting the Continuing
Ed/Presentations link.
