SAM Adele D Hofmann Visiting Professorship
The SAM Visiting Professor in Adolescent Medicine was established in 1986 with the first award being given in 1987. The Society for Adolescent Medicine offers this annual event to provide an educational experience in Adolescent Medicine for a group of health care providers who may not otherwise have the opportunity to benefit from the Professor's expertise. In March 2003, this award was re-named the Society for Adolescent Medicine/Adele D. Hofmann Visiting Professor in Adolescent Medicine and Health. The award is financially supported by Dr. Hofmann's children, Annie Gardiner and Peter Hofmann.

Objectives of the Training Programme:
Adolescent Medicine is a new category of health care in Hong Kong. The current youth health care services are often disconnected. Formal training on Adolescent Medicine is also not well-developed. It would be extremely important and beneficial for us to have the Adele Hofmann Visiting Professor coming to Hong Kong to advise us on how to develop adolescent service and start adolescent training programs in our locality. We would like to have the expert advice from the Visiting Professor on the following areas:
- To advise the multidisciplinary health care providers and youth workers on the common adolescent health needs and the ways and means to develop adolescent health service in Hong Kong;
- To advocate the concept of interdisciplinary collaboration in providing adolescent health services in hospital and community settings;
- To advise on the development of training curriculum on Adolescent Medicine for pediatric trainees and fellows;
- To review and advise on the teaching curriculum on Adolescent Medicine for medical students and undergraduates;
- To advise on the approach to adolescent health research and on how to develop research agenda including areas of interest, collaboration, support and training with an international flavor.
