Lawrence Neinstein

I am a professor of pediatrics and medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC since 1979. I directed the academic programs and teen clinic at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles for 17 years and the last 18 years I have been the executive director of the Engemann Student Health Center, a senior associate dean of Student Affairs, and Chief of the Division of College Health. I have been a past president of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine and recipient of their Lifetime Achievement Award in adolescent health. I have written and edited the major textbook in the field - Adolescent Health Care, A Practical Guide, now in its 5th edition. My free online curriculum in adolescent and young adult health (www.usc.edu/adolhealth) is accessed annually by over 250,000 individuals worldwide.
