Adolescence involves a lot of changes, including a new dynamic between caregiver and child. One change that isn’t talked about often is the child becoming more involved in their own medical care and eventually switching from a pediatrician to an adult doctor. Just like learning to drive or how to do laundry, it’s best that teenagers are prepared for this with the help of their caregivers. “Transition of care” is the preparation of teenagers and young adults to become more involved in their own healthcare, help them learn how to make medical decisions, and eventually assist them in a planned move from pediatric healthcare providers to adult providers....
