The General Academic Pediatrics Division staffs the only academic primary care pediatric office for children residing in San Diego County, and provides the main clinical general pediatric teaching site for UCSD medical students and pediatric residents.

The UCSD Adolescent Medicine health care team recognizes that adolescence is a special time that brings about particular concerns in young men, women and their parents. Teenagers are often confronted with certain medical needs and emotional stresses that require the expertise of specially trained professionals. The physicians in the Adolescent Medicine Program are distinguished by their specialty interest and training. All faculty are adolescent medicine experts with several years of specialty adolescent medicine training beyond general pediatrics.
