Domestic Violence Prevention Committee |
|
It is estimated that over 10 million people experience domestic violence each year. Physicians are in a unique position to combat the public health issue of intimate partner violence (IPV). Physicians have the ability to screen for IPV in their patients, offer resources, and follow up with their patients. However, there are existing gaps in the screening of IPV in patients, as well as what to do when intimate partner violence is recognized in a patient.
Join AMWA’s Domestic Violence Prevention Committee to help close these gaps through our three branches of education, advocacy, and research.
