The Division of Adolescent Medicine offers in-person and telehealth webinar training session discussing topics related to clinical pediatrics and quality improvement, such as motivational interviewing and reproductive health. These pediatric continuing medical education sessions are available to pediatric physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, clinic managers, registered dietitian nutritionists, medical assistants, and many others. Continuing medical education (CME) and continuing education units (CEUs) are available for these trainings, which are delivered live or available as recordings or online modules.
The Division of Adolescent Medicine has an Adolescent Medicine Rotation that teaches medical students and residents (medical doctors-in-training) to become skilled clinicians and strong advocates for teens and families. By working to understand how factors related to community, culture, geography, economics, and the health care system impact child health, residents learn how to identify and approach issues that affect children and teens at multiple levels - local, regional, state, national and global.
The Envision New Mexico 2.0 telehealth initiative connects pediatric sub-specialty providers with community and primary care providers. Sessions provide up-to-date information on quality improvement and evidence-based guidelines and support for managing complex pediatric illness, along with tools and resources to enhance prevention efforts.
These sessions and a set of interactive modules are offered through the UNM Health Sciences Center Moodle Online Course system.

The Division of Adolescent Medicine and Envision New Mexico 2.0 provide training in motivational interviewing (MI) to the providers engaged in our initiatives.
