Adolescent Medicine Specialist
Adolescent medicine specialists are doctors (sometimes internists
or pediatricians) who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions
and diseases common to teenagers.
Adolescent medicine specialists can be board-certified through the
Board of Internal Medicine or the Board of Pediatrics, both of which are
recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
