Children and adolescents who enter foster care often do so with complicated and serious medical, mental health, developmental, oral health, and psychosocial problems rooted in their history of childhood trauma. Ideally, health care for this population is provided in a pediatric medical home by physicians who are familiar with the sequelae of childhood trauma and adversity. As youth with special health care needs, children and adolescents in foster care require more frequent monitoring of their health status, and pediatricians have a critical role in ensuring the well-being of children in out-of-home care through the provision of high-quality pediatric health services, health care coordination, and advocacy on their behalves.
进入寄养的儿童和青少年往往存在复杂而严重的医疗、心理健康、发育、口腔健康和社会心理问题，这些问题都源于他们童年创伤的经历。理想情况下，儿科医疗之家的医生为这群人提供医疗服务，这些医生熟悉儿童创伤和逆境的后果。作为有特殊医疗需求的青年，寄养中的儿童和青少年需要更频繁地监测他们的健康状况，儿科医生在通过提供高质量的儿科保健服务、协调保健以及为他们提供支持来确保儿童在家庭外的福利方面发挥着关键作用。
