Centre for Adolescent Health

Adolescence is a critical window for lifelong health, and wherever you practise, clinicians are in a unique position to influence it. 🌱 At the Centre for Adolescent Health, University of Melbourne, we know doctors already understand the clinical issues affecting young people. What’s harder is knowing how to work with adolescents specifically: building trust quickly, communicating in a way that lands, and navigating consultations shaped by developmental stage, autonomy and family dynamics. Our postgraduate programs in Adolescent Health and Wellbeing are designed around clinical practice, giving you practical, adolescent-specific approaches to communication, engagement and care. Fully online and evidence-based, our programs let you study from anywhere without stepping away from your clinical work. You’ll learn alongside doctors and health professionals from around the world, sharing how adolescent care looks in different health systems. If you’re looking to sharpen how you work with young people, connect with a global network of colleagues, and expand your clinical capabilities, we’d love to meet you. Join us for our online information session and discover what postgraduate study and an adolescent specialisation could mean for your practice. 📅 18th of November, 5:30-6:30pm AEDT - Postgraduate Information Session 🎓 University of Melbourne | Centre for Adolescent Health 🔗 Register: https://lnkd.in/g3bgTNKC 💛 Scholarships may be available - ask us at the session.
