What is the cut-off age for pediatric care?
I've always been curious - at what age does a child stop seeing a pediatrician and start seeing a general practitioner? Are there any specific health considerations that come into play during this transition? #pediatrics #childhealthcare

Great question! The age for transitioning from pediatric to adult care can vary, but it often occurs between 18-21 years old. This transition period is important for helping young adults become more independent in managing their own healthcare. #infantcare #pediatricresearch
That's interesting. Are there any resources available to help parents and young adults navigate this transition smoothly?
Yes, there are many resources available! The American Academy of Pediatrics has guidelines to help with the transition, and many healthcare organizations offer programs to support young adults as they take on more responsibility for their own healthcare. #medicalinformation #childhealthcare
