Child Physical Abuse Fundamentals in the Child Abuse Pediatrics Curriculum for Physicians (CAP-CuP).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Child abuse is a highly prevalent yet undertaught condition in medical education. Many physicians feel underprepared to navigate conversations about mandatory reporting.

Methods

We developed an interactive module for teaching pediatric clinicians about sentinel injuries and mandatory reporting. We evaluated the content by seeking qualitative and quantitative feedback from a large audience at a pediatric continuing medical education (CME) conference and then studied its educational impact using a pre- and postmodule assessment with residents from three specialties. Based upon audience and expert feedback, the content was then divided into two parts, with an expanded section on disproportionality in part one and popcorn-style role-play in part two.
