Division of Adolescent Medicine

About Adolescent Medicine

The members of the adolescent medicine division care for 11 to 17-year-old males and females for a variety of teen issues including family planning, menstrual problems, emotional and behavioural problems and eating disorders.

The division members also work closely with other pediatric clinics to provide adolescent services to youth with chronic illnesses and disability.

The Eating Disorder Program is the largest outpatient program in Ontario and offers interdisciplinary assessment for children and teenagers up to and including 17 years of age, who have, or may have, an eating disorder. Treatment is offered for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and related illnesses. Services available include medical consultation and monitoring, nutritional counseling, individual, family and group therapy.

Several research projects are currently underway in the Adolescent Medicine division, including a study on outcomes in pediatric eating disorders, transition care in pediatric diabetes and the burden of eating disorders in undergraduate medical students.

Members of the Division of Adolescent Medicine are actively involved in post-graduate and undergraduate medical education.
