UNLV School of Medicine students contributed to the amendment of existing national policy at the 2025 American Medical Association (AMA) Annual House of Delegates with the adoption of policy H-60.896, Youth Residential and Other Treatment Program Regulation. Led by Eileen Enriquez with coauthor Sierra McCarty (both Medicine), the resolution amended prior AMA policy to explicitly oppose the use of any non–evidence-based therapies and abusive measures in youth residential and other treatment programs. The updated policy also affirms that only appropriately qualified and certified child and adolescent medical and mental health professionals should provide clinical services, and that such programs must be subject to oversight and review by licensed physicians, mental health professionals, and other appropriate healthcare professionals, strengthening protections for youth safety and well-being.
