John de Witt is correct, but I believe pediatric residents spend more time in adolescent tablets than internists or family medicine residents do. As a pediatrician I did a lot of college entrance physicals and saw plentiful college students who came home on semester breaks, etc. The few who came after college graduation I gently urged to find another doctor.
Our children's hospital have a cutoff age for admission at age 22, and my privileges at the other community hospitals that did not have a pediatric unit be for the newborn nursery only, so that could present a problem.
It was sometimes difficult to transfer special requests patients to adult physicians. I cared for numerous special needs patients very well into their twenties. Source(s): Retired Peds.

Adolescent medicine is one of those things that can be pretty fuzzy. Some pediatricians are heavily into it, and others would rather not.
My pediatrician said I can go to him through the age of 22.

Most doctors have a bendable rule of roughly speaking 18 years old, other doctors cut off patients much earlier, as impulsive as 9 years old.
