Meeting the Unique Needs of Adolescents and Young Adults
Adolescence and young adulthood is a time of transformation that comes with unique physical, cognitive, and psychosocial changes. Physicians who practice adolescent and young adult medicine are experienced in addressing the complex concerns of young people, including sexual health, anxiety and depression, and healthy eating.
In UT Southwestern’s Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine Program, all of our doctors are board certified or board eligible in adolescent medicine, which means we’ve received advanced training to address the medical and developmental needs of young people.
We are committed to treating the whole patient and are skilled in practical, compassionate techniques such as motivational interviewing to help our patients become active partners in their health care.
