The Boston LEAH Program directs 3 to 5 continuing education courses on adolescent health each year. From 1992 to present, the LEAH faculty has directed or co-directed over 40 CME/CEU courses including Adolescent Medicine, Pediatric/Adolescent Gynecology, Adolescent Health Nursing, Psychology, HIV Care, and Pediatric Nutrition. The Faculty and Fellows give numerous presentations to professional audiences, families and youth, schools, and public health conferences. Over the past six years, the Boston LEAH Program provided 1500 presentations and 800 significant consultations for technical assistance.
Additionally, MCH LEAH and Behavioral Pediatrics faculty and fellows have authored 29 learner-centered cases on growth, development, behavior and adolescent health to facilitate pediatric residents learning the Bright Futures guidelines for health supervision.
These cases, developed through our Bright Futures Center for Curricula, and an additional interactive computer-based case are available at the Bright Futures Center for Pediatric Education in Growth and Development Behavior and Adolescent Health web site. These cases were also published as a three volume set available through the HRSA Information Center (1-888-ASK-HRSA).
