Combined Private Practice of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine

An Analysis and Discussion of Some Personal Experiences

Jerome T.Y. Shen

St. Louis University School of Medicine

In the last ten years there has been a general tendency for pediatricians, intern ists, and general practitioners to include adolescents in their medical practices. The reasons for this tendency are threefold: (I) the general awareness that ado lescents do have problems, physical and emotional, that need medical attention different from that of adults or children: (2) starting with the establishment, in 1951, of the Adolescents' Unit by Dr. J. R. Gallagher at the Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, the importance and the feasibility of giving better medi cal care to adolescents are being appreciated both by the public and the medical profession; (3) the rapid advances in the biological and behavioral sciences are making many physicians dissatisfied with practice or research which has an age limit. Pediatricians like to know what happens to their patients after adolescence is reached, and internists like to know the how and the why behind their adult patients' physical and mental conditions.
