AM:STARs: Advances in Adolescent Eating Disorders

The Section on Adolescent Health (SOAH) provides an educational, representative forum for pediatricians who are interested in the health care of adolescents, and enables members to meet for the purpose of initiation, discussion and development of ideas and programs which will improve the health care of young people in their second decade of life. It provides an educational forum for the membership at large in expanding their basic pediatric knowledge and skills to include the adolescent patient. Martin M. Fisher, MD, FAAP, is a professor of pediatrics at Hofstra North Shore LIJ Health System and a division chief at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center and North Shore University Hospital. Neville H.
