Healthcare professionals have to deal with all types of patients and situations that are difficult. Yet one of the most disturbing things they have to encounter is the abuse of an innocent child. This is especially challenging when they have to interview the parent or caregiver they believe is responsible for the maltreatment. This program provides an overview of the issue of child abuse in the United States as well as detailed information on identifying various types and signs of sexual abuse, the responsibilities healthcare providers have when caring for victims, and the reporting of maltreatment.
