| Description |
Trainees focus on identification, diagnosis and management of child abuse and neglect in the in-patient setting, a hospital-based clinic. This elective offers a comprehensive overview of appropriate history taking and physical examination techniques. Elective includes opportunities to learn about normal and abnormal genital exams when there is concern for sexual abuse. Trainees are exposed to skin manifestations of abuse, fractures, and abusive head trauma. There are opportunities to observe forensic interviewers, social workers, law enforcement and legal colleagues, and to work directly with Child Abuse Pediatricians. Trainees on 4-week rotation are expected to complete a reflection paper or a project that reflects their interest in an aspect of child abuse or neglect. There are no weekend or call duties. Duration: 4 weeks. A 4-week rotation will allow greater opportunity for direct patient care. |
