Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate
that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before
their 18thbirthday. A review of the
literature reveals that there is limited training for medical
professionals on the topic of child sexual abuse in the U.S. and in
Canadian graduate medical education models, including the post M.D.
educational environment. This thesis develops a public health grant
proposal to evaluate the effectiveness of the curriculum, methods
and teaching resources of thePhysician's Power to
Protecthealth education program. This program was
designed for medical professionals to address a gap in specialized
and standardized training pertaining to the prevention and
detection of child sexual abuse.Physician's Power to
Protectwas created in conjunction with Emory University
Rollins School of Public Health and VOICE Today, Inc. in response
to the findings of a needs assessment that explored child sexual
abuse as a public health and safety issue to gain understanding
whether there is a need to intervene at the primary medical
practice level. ThePhysician's Power to Protectgrant proposal is for the evaluation of this curriculum that
was recently implemented and taught at the Medical College of
Georgia (now Georgia Regents University) for medical students as
they are preparing for their first year of residency. The question
that this proposal explores is whether child sexual abuse training
should be incorporated in graduate medical education as well as
pediatric wellness check-ups and anticipatory guidelines.
Ultimately, the goal is for thePhysician's Power to
Protectcurriculum to be adopted by medical schools
throughout Georgia and across the U.S. and Canada.
