| The Child Abuse SIG meeting will be held on Sunday, May 2nd, from 8-11 a.m., and we are excited to be taking over the SIG leadership after the excellent direction of Cindy Christian who stepped down last year (and necessitated the two of us to fill her shoes!). We have planned a continuation of the prevention theme that Cindy began last year in Baltimore. Vancouver’s own Ron Barr will kick off the session with a presentation of his data on infant crying and the Period of Purple Crying prevention program. Heather Keenan, from Salt Lake City, will follow with a review of her research on the effectiveness of nursery-based abusive head trauma prevention. Finally, Megan Bair-Merritt, from Baltimore, will discuss the challenges of intimate partner violence in the context of child abuse prevention.
After a brief break, we’ll spend the latter part of the SIG in a discussion of the future of Child Abuse Pediatrics…beyond the board exam. This session will be led by Bob Block, chair of the Child Abuse Pediatrics sub-board, and will be an interactive discussion about funding, training, and the role of child abuse pediatricians within the field of Pediatrics. |
