Managing Traumatic Genital Injury in Children

IAFN has a webinar coming up of particular interest to those of you who take care of kids: Straddle Injury vs. Sexual Abuse–Managing Traumatic Genital Injury in Children. The session will be held December 12th from 12-1:30 pm ET. Cost is $30 for members ($60 for non-members) and will net you 1.5 CEUs.

 From the site:

While it is routine for Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners and Child Abuse Physicians to evaluate children who have disclosed or are suspected as having been sexually abused, it is less common for children who are seen for a chief complaint of straddle injury to be examined by these same experts.  This webinar will examine the child sexual abuse expert’s role in examining straddle injuries, and how to manage significant genital injury in children.
