This presentation will review the different types of medical and nursing professionals who commonly deal with child abuse pediatrics, their respective roles, and the skill’s set expected of each regarding child abuse. History taking and physical examination of suspected victims of child sexual and physical abuse will also be covered through review of actual cases.
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Identify both common and unusual child abuse physical and sexual abuse mimics.
- Identify the appropriate medical workup for cases of suspected physical abuse in infants and young children.
- Develop specific clinical and history taking skills related to possible physical and sexual abuse
