Adolescent Medicine: Healthcare for Vulnerable Populations

featuring Dr. Kyzwana Caves

This week we hear from another graduate of Meharry Medical College . Dr. Caves is a Pediatrician with subspecialization in Adolescent Medicine. In this interview, we talk about her pathway to medicine, her experiences at Meharry and how she navigated residency as a Black, Woman physician.

She talks about the incredible impact she has on adolescents, who are at an extremely vulnerable and impressionable place in development. Adolescent medicine incorporates multiple specialties and includes important issues with regards to reproductive rights and gender-affirmation.

We also talk about professionalism. Who gets to define this concept and how it can easily be weaponized against URiM.

• Have you heard of Adolescent Medicine?
• Learn about an incredibly rewarding and challenging Pediatric Subspecialty.
• Have you ever been labeled as "unprofessional?"
• Is it ok to wear facial piercings, tattoos and locs as a physician?
