The Latest on Child Abuse in Pediatrics

The Latest on Child Abuse in Pediatrics

There's a moment in a pediatrician's day that doesn't show up on the schedule. It's the bruise that doesn't quite match the story, or the awkward pause after a parent answers a question just a little too quickly or the child who won't make eye contact or let go of your sleeve. In these moments, pediatricians become more than clinicians. They become interpreters, advocates and sometimes the only line of protection.

To help us understand the latest on child abuse, we are joined by Denise Abdoo, PhD, CPNP. Dr. Abdoo is a pediatric nurse practitioner who specializes in child abuse and neglect. She is also an associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Some highlights from this episode include:

  • What's changed in treating child abuse over the last decade
  • The impact of social media on child abuse
  • The most easily missed signs in a pediatric visit
  • Recent changes in laws, reporting and expectations
