The Division of Adolescent Medicine has several children and adolescent clinics across New Mexico. These clinics are making a difference not just in our local communities but also rural locations where receiving quality health care is a challenge for some families. Below is the Division of Adolescent Medicine's main clinics that we are engaged in and some of the organizations we service and partner with to provide excellent quality health care in the state of New Mexico.
The UNM School-Based Health Center (SBHC) Program provides safe and easily accessible locations on six school campuses in Albuquerque where all students can go for comprehensive integrated primary and behavioral health care services, delivered in a culturally sensitive manner regardless of their ability to pay. The UNM SBHCs focus on preventive health care including well child visits, reproductive health, and immunizations, educating students on healthy lifestyle choices, and addressing the major health issues of adolescents such as smoking, substance use, anxiety and depression. The UNM SBHC program also seeks to enhance healthy youth development and reduce barriers to learning. Services are provided by a team of professionals who specialize in adolescent health. The UNM Medical Group School-Based Health Center clinics are located within six Albuquerque Public Schools, which are operated independently but in collaboration with each school site. The staff include Medical Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Independently Licensed Behavioral Health Therapists, Child Psychiatrists, Child Psychologists, Medical Assistants, Medical Case Managers and Clinic Coordinators.
The UNM Healthy & Fit Children’s Clinic is dedicated to preventing type 2 diabetes for New Mexico children, ages two to 17 years old using a multidisciplinary approach considering the medical, nutritional, behavioral characteristics, and physical activity of each child. The Division of Adolescent Medicine provides best practice healthcare services for adolescent patient populations within the interdisciplinary team.
The Division of Adolescent Medicine provides best practice prevention and urgent care healthcare services for day and residential students enrolled in Albuquerque Job Corps Centers and participates in the interdisciplinary Albuquerque Job Corps Center Wellness team to develop collaborative tailored and individualized healthcare treatment plans to promote student wellness and success in completing their trade.
