Sarah Villarroel
Description from DukeHub
This selective provides students the opportunity to learn about child abuse and family violence, the effect of these issues on individual health needs of patients, the impact of these issues on public health, and the role of the physician to address these issues. Students will participate in the evaluation of patients in an outpatient medical child abuse clinic, observe inpatient child abuse consults, and participate in case reviews to determine medical levels of concern and recommendations for patients. Other learning opportunities may include observation of court proceedings and participation in multi-agency case review meetings, when available. This selective is appropriate for all students interested in learning more about family violence in adult or pediatric clinical medicine and/or public health. Permission of the instructor is required for enrollment. Credit: 2. Enrollment Max. 1.
