Child, adult, elder and intimate partner cases will be discussed.
  • Participants will receive guidance and resources on mandatory reporting, when necessary, as a healthcare professional or private citizen.

The goal of this program is to educate an attendee as to the mechanisms and appearances of injuries in children and adults. Focus will be on the common modalities of injuries
including non-intentional, intentional, patterned and mimickers of injury. Lessons from the viewpoints of dentistry, pathology and law enforcement will be shared with the mutual objective
being the earliest possible intervention and interruption of harm to our patients, and our friends and families.
