I had a reader request for a foundational child abuse webinar to view with a diverse group of hospital-based healthcare providers. The Midwest Regional Children’s Advocacy Centers has multiple archived webinars available, including this one, presented by Dr. Carole Jenny earlier in the year, Medical Child Abuse and Medical Neglect: A Spectrum of Parent Behavior. Bonus: CMEs are available for this session (although nursing CEUs are not). Click through for details:
