Physician Training

Through a grant from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), the Child Abuse Prevention Center facilitated the development of this on-line Physician’s Mandated Child Abuse Reporter Training. The training was developed by physicians for physicians.

The training provides the following:

• real scenarios to guide physicians through the identification and reporting of suspected child abuse;
• common concerns and misconceptions regarding mandated reporting; and
• interactive learning modules that are short and self-paced.

The training is available through the Institute for Medical Quality (IMQ) for Continuing Medical Education (CME) units free of charge. Below is a link to the training.
