The design of a training program for adolescent medicine. Thoughts of fellows in training.

Program design for training in Adolescent Medicine is still in an evolutionary state. Postgraduate fellows and program directors have different perceptions with regard to the importance of various components of the ideal training program. Fellows indicate a higher priority for problems associated with the female reproductive system than do their mentors. Inpatient experience received lesser emphasis by the Fellows. Adolescent Medicine as a subspecialty discipline is discouraged.

Caring for the adolescent drug user.

Adolescence as a social and individual process provides a challenge to the teenager with subsequent situational and maturational crises. The discomfort of change promotes alleviation, and in the limited resource of the adolescent, this may involve drug use. The physician must understand the adolescent and his adolescence in order to effectively intervene. This may be accomplished through a systematic evaluation of the problem, the teenager, and subsequently himself.
