 Please Note:Referrals are not necessary to establish primary care in the Adolescent Division. Outside facilities may refer patients to our Aftercare, CATALYST, CATCH, Menstrual Disorders, and Family Planning Clinics.

The Adolescent Division is dedicated to providing a high level of assistance to colleagues within Boston Medical Center and outside of the BMC system. Whether for diagnostics, treatment, a single consultation, second opinion, or ongoing follow up, BMC’s providers will keep the consulting provider fully informed of the patient’s treatment plan and coordinate long-term management.
