Signs and Symptoms of Child Abuse

This is a didactic, case-based presentation that reviews a case series of patients presenting for the care of injuries due to abuse. The most updated guidelines on child abuse recognition and reporting will be reviewed along with tips for how to access key resources in real-time.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify key historical and exam findings to suggest abuse.
  • Discuss indications for further testing with special consideration of advanced imaging studies.
  • Evaluate the rationale for a family-based approach that looks beyond the individual patient presenting for care.
