About

Young adult medicine is a specialized medical field dedicated to the comprehensive physical, emotional, and social health needs of individuals transitioning from adolescence through early adulthood (typically aged 10 to 25 years). This discipline provides developmentally appropriate care for this distinct age group, investigating the unique health challenges and complexities of this transitional period, and is significant for facilitating a healthy transition to adult healthcare systems and optimizing long-term well-being.
