CE Programs:

Join us on Thursday, May 20, 2010 for our next program, "An Overview of Child Sexual Abuse" (and earn 1.5 CEs). Child sexual abuse is a complex problem with unique challenges for health care professionals.
Appropriate management is critical in order to protect the child, promote health, and maximize emotional well-being. This presentation gives a brief overview of the history of the emergence of child abuse as a diagnosis in the medical community in the U.S. Definitions, statistics and common misconceptions are included with major focus on the medical evaluation of the sexually abused child, including history and physical examination, laboratory testing and referrals.
