I am a nurse practitioner at an advocacy center and a majority of my position is overseeing and managing cases of suspected medical child abuse as well as leading our monthly MCA taskforce meeting. I was also able to give a presentation on this topic at the 2014 IAFN conference in Phoenix. Thanks for sharing this, I am going to try to attend this seminar.
