Adolescent Medicine and Transition of Care

Adolescent medicine focuses on the unique healthcare needs of individuals between the ages of 12 and 21, a critical period of physical, emotional, and social development. During this time, adolescents experience rapid growth, hormonal changes, and increased independence, which can present both opportunities and challenges for healthcare providers. One of the key aspects of adolescent medicine is addressing issues such as mental health, sexual and reproductive health, substance use, and chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, and obesity. Adolescents are also at higher risk for behaviours such as risky sexual activity, driving under the influence, and mental health concerns, including depression and anxiety. Providing guidance, education, and preventive care is crucial during this stage. A key focus in adolescent medicine is the transition of care from pediatric to adult healthcare providers. This transition is a complex process, as adolescents move from receiving care in a pediatric setting to navigating the adult healthcare system, which may be unfamiliar and less tailored to their needs. Successful transition of care involves preparing the adolescent for self-management, promoting independence, and fostering communication between pediatricians and adult care providers.
