Child Abuse Pediatrics

The Child Abuse Pediatrics team provides care for children, adolescents, and their families when any type of abuse is suspected. Our pediatricians are certified as subspecialists in child abuse care by the American Board of Pediatrics. That means they understand the nuances of helping children recover from abuse, whether the mistreatment has been physical, sexual  or emotional, or involves neglect.

 

Training Programs

The Division of Child Abuse Pediatrics is active in educating nurses, medical students, physician assistant students, pediatric residents, and has a 3-year fellowship accredited by the American Board of Pediatrics.
