History
The Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine has deep roots in the field. On April 28, 1968, representatives of adolescent clinics throughout the United States and Canada met and unanimously agreed to the formation of a Society for Adolescent Medicine. The goals of the Society are to improve the quality of medical care for adolescents, to encourage the investigation of normal growth and development during adolescence and of the diseases and medical conditions that affect adolescents, to stimulate the creation of medical services for adolescents, and to foster and improve the quality of training of those providing medical care to adolescents.
From its founding, the Society planned to hold an annual meeting as a core activity. In 2018, SAHM marked its 50th anniversary of promoting the health and well-being of adolescents. The Annual Meeting has since grown into a multidisciplinary, international gathering, with the 2027 edition being held in Chicago.
