adults make the switch from their pediatrician
to a primary care physician who focuses on
adult care.

THE TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE ISN'T THE ONLY
CHANGE TEENS NEED TO MAKE AS THEY ENTER ADULTHOOD.
the Health Care Switch
"At this point, teenagers can call
their pediatricians and say, 'I'm
scheduled to see this provider on
this date at this time,' and arrange
for their medical records to be
transferred," Dr. Rambicure said.
"Because everyone is on the same page
regarding medical history, screenings,
vaccinations and lab work, teens can
expect a smooth transition."
