COMING SOON

One in three women and men experience physical or sexual violence or stalking in their lifetime. In this #MeToo age, healthcare providers should expect more patients to be ready to talk about intimate partner violence. Do you ask your patients about intimate partner violence? Do you know what to do after you ask?

It will be designed as a video-module based online course, with CME available.
