Who we are

The Greek Society for Adolescent Medicine (G.S.A.M.) was founded with the purpose of raising awareness among Greek healthcare professionals, specialists, and educators regarding the specificity of adolescent care.

The vision of the society is the creation of outpatient clinics, wards for adolescents, and counseling stations of general adolescent medicine, as well as education on prevention and health promotion topics through school programs and parental information.

G.S.A.M. aims at a comprehensive and universal approach to adolescent health problems and emphasizes the importance of prevention. Specialists and educators who are close to children from their early years have the ability to perceive their needs, inform them, and guide them properly until adulthood. Thus, the transition from childhood and adolescence to adult life is as smooth as possible.

The Society looks forward to the participation of the scientific and educational community in order to continue realizing its vision. For the implementation of its goals, GSAM organizes scientific conferences (lectures), postgraduate seminars, literature updates, interviews, and representations to the competent authorities. It therefore calls upon everyone (scientists, educators, parents, and the state) to contribute to the realization of everything mentioned above.
