Fellows will be apart of a statewide multidisciplinary team process and have the opportunity to testify in court, lecture to and train la enforcement and the legal community, and participate in statewide organizations and committees like the Governor's Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect. Fellows will learn the court skills needed to present as effective experts witnesses, the examination and colposcopy skills to perform sexual abuse examinations, and the administrative skills needed to direct a child abuse program. Because the program is housed in a children's hospital and because there is a large therapy component, fellows will have the opportunity to interact with a number of specialties that include psychology, pediatric emergency medicine, child psychiatry, neurosurgery, genetics, toxicology, medical examiners, child development, etc. Completion of a research project is expected.
