| Sumario: | Using adult learning theory practices, pilot educational interventions have clearly proven that curricula focused on child abuse and neglect can have impactful results in the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of medical trainees. In addition to clinical experiences, educational interventions can provide the next generation of medical professionals with information to better diagnose and report child maltreatment and ideally prevent any injury to our pediatric patients. This paper will review approaches to teaching medical trainees about the diagnosis and management of child abuse and neglect in light of adult learning theory and structured education whether as part of a residency curriculum or any other training program. |
