Dr. Jessica Gold is a medical geneticist trained in pediatrics and internal medicine. Both her clinical work and research is dedicated to helping adolescents and young adults with inherited metabolic disorders prepare for adulthood. For many young people, puberty and reproductive health are important milestones in emerging adulthood. Yet, clinicians lack information on these topics for people with FAODs, which impacts their ability to provide guidance. This project is the first step in learning how people with FAODs approach puberty and reproductive health. The roundtable discussions will be an opportunity for people with FAODs or their parents/caregivers to share their experiences with puberty and reproductive health so we can improve healthcare for adolescents and adults with FAODs.
