The Division of Adolescent Medicine provides training and education in adolescent health.
Health care professional trainees from all disciplines receive specialized training. Staff provide workshops, seminars, and lectures to a wide variety of groups on understanding, assessing, and treating adolescents with complex medical conditions.
For information regarding the division's educational activities with the University of British Columbia's School of Medicine, the Pediatrics Residency program, and the Adolescent Medicine Subspecialty Residency (fellowship) program, see the UBC Department of Pediatrics.
