Abstract The Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine (SAHM) was created by health professionals committed to identifying and better addressing the health needs of adolescents and young adults, and this work has continued for nearly 50 years. The society initially focused primarily on clinical education, but has evolved to include educational activities providing clinical, research, policy, advocacy, and professional development content. Strategies have included high-quality annual meetings designed to meet the educational needs of its multi-disciplinary membership, publishing an internationally recognized journal, and developing strategic collaborations to advocate for legitimacy of the field and reform in health profession education. Historically, SAHM has been most successful at increasing specialized training in the United States among physicians, and primarily pediatricians, likely driven by the nuances of the development of adolescent medicine in this country. Successes are often linked to strategic collaborations with other professional organizations, and have been facilitated by federally funded initiatives to improve adolescent and young adult health. Recent efforts to improve professional training are focused on the use of technology, and SAHM is also currently exploring strategies to directly reach adolescents, young adults, and their parents. As the society becomes increasingly multidisciplinary and international, members have extraordinary opportunities to learn from each other, build upon lessons learned, and collaborate. Descriptions of the history of SAHM’s training-focused efforts, selected highlights, and current priorities will be used to illustrate this long-standing commitment to the training of health professionals.

AbstractBackgroundYoung adults with childhood-onset disabilities experience challenges with accessing age appropriate primary health care services as they transition from pediatric to adult health care services. They often experience a negative impact on their health with associated long-term health and social concerns, disease complications and increased use of emergency services once transitioned to adult services. This is particularly challenging for youth with cerebral palsy (CP) due the complexity of their medical needs. The aim of this study was to explore experiences with accessing or providing primary care services for transitioned-aged young adults with CP from young adult, parent, pediatrician and primary care physician perspectives.MethodsA qualitative descriptive design was conducted to identify the challenges and facilitators for transitioned aged young adults with accessing primary, adult care services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 participants within the circle of care (4 adults with CP, 4 parents, 4 pediatricians and 4 primary healthcare physicians) for individuals with CP in Toronto, Canada. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative analysis guided both the data collection and the data analysis processes.ResultsData analysis revealed that all participant groups reported transition challenges with respect to accessibility, the suitability of some primary care environments for caring for individuals with complex care needs, gaps in seamless care, and limited time and funding when receiving or providing primary care services to young adults with CP.DiscussionThere is a greater demand for adult healthcare providers now to deliver services for adults with childhood onset disabilities. Transition-aged young adults with CP and complex medical needs have increased challenges with accessing primary care services. Considering the following would improve primary care services transition for this population with complex medical needs: ongoing partnering between pediatric and adult health care streams to promote seamless care; connection to team-based primary care services where family physicians, subspecialties and interprofessional practitioners work together to provide joint care planning; salary compensation for increased service needs due to medical complexity; accessible sites; and development of guidelines for transitioning youth/young adults with complex care needs.
