Think the division of Adolescent Health & Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics is all about medicine? Think again. The division is about all aspects of adolescent health and development and the health of adolescents at risk. We provide interdisciplinary research, training, and clinical services collaborating with the disciplines of medicine, nursing, nutrition, psychology, public health and social work. We have trained doctors, journalists, and ministers. What unites us? A passion for developing resilience in youth.
