Child Abuse Photos & Training Materials:
(978-1-878060-29-7) $515.00

Train anyone to report, interpret, and identify child abuse: EMTs, doctors, nurses, police officers, social workers, and other mandated reporters. The CD-ROM contains 392 full-color images (ISBN 978-1-878060-29-7).

Written by leading experts in various areas of child maltreatment, these comprehensive training materials are arranged in three modules that seek to provide professionals and those they train with the most comprehensive curriculum available. Each module contains an instructor's manual with 36 individual lesson exercises to accompany each section. These materials guide instructors through the preparation of a lesson and provide visual presentation aids in the form of color images, diagrams, and tables.

The three volumes of the training modules cover the following topics:

Physical Signs of Abuse uses color photographs and radiographs to teach students to distinguish abusive from nonabusive injuries. Using real case studies, this module provides practical insight into the process of confirming suspicions of abuse.
Sexual, Emotional & Psychological Abuse teaches students to identify the signs of sexual abuse. With sections that discuss the signs of at-risk youth and resulting psychological disorders, this section provides clear guidance for identifying sources of trauma that remain difficult to detect.
Investigation, Care & Prevention teaches the steps to take when abuse or neglect is discovered, the details of the agencies and procedures involved in mandated reporting, and strategies for preventing child abuse.

The new Child Maltreatment: A Clinical Guide and Reference, 3rd Edition, serves as the official companion textbook for the Training Modules. With 43 chapters and 1000 pages from 76 contributors, this fully updated text is a comprehensive child abuse textbook. It is available as part of a two-volume set.

Angelo P. Giardino, MD, PhD, MPH, FAAP

Angelo Giardino is the medical director of Texas Children's Health Plan, a clinical associate professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, and an attending physician for the Texas Children's Hospital's forensic pediatrics service at the Children's Assessment Center in Houston, Texas. He graduated summa cum laude from Temple University and earned his MD and PhD at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Giardino completed his residency and fellowship training in pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Immediately after his fellowship training, Dr. Giardino became the assistant, and then the associate, medical director at Health Partners of Philadelphia, where he had primary responsibility for utilization management, intensive case management, and health care data analysis. He also shared responsibility for the plan's quality improvement program. In that role, Dr. Giardino led "Little Partners," a lay home visiting program focused on fostering enhanced prenatal care and improved healthier birth outcomes. Additionally, Dr. Giardino began the Child Abuse and Neglect Team for Children with Special Health Care Needs, which was funded by a three-year grant from a local philanthropy. In 1998, he was appointed associate chair of clinical operations in the Department of Pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), and in June of 1999 he was asked to chair the CHOP Quality Committee. As chair, Dr. Giardino supervised quality improvement, accreditation, and outcomes management for a wide variety of clinical programs within the hospital. He also served as an attending physician on CHOP's Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect (SCAN) team. These accomplishments are only a few of his career.

Dr. Giardino is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Texas Pediatric Society, and the Harris County Medical Society, where he serves on the Managed Medicaid Forum and the Medical Directors Committee. He is 10-year member of the American College of Physician Executives and a member of the American College of Medical Quality. Prior to relocating to Houston, Dr. Giardino served as chair of the Philadelphia Branch Board of the Southeastern Chapter of the American Red Cross, president of the Board for Bethany Christian Services in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, and a member of the Board for the Support Center for Child Advocates, where he was named a 2005 Champion for Children. His academic accomplishments include publishing eight textbooks on child abuse and neglect, presenting on a variety of pediatric topics at national and regional conferences, and, most recently, being appointed to a three-year term on the National Review Board for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Reviews

The Child Maltreatment 3-Volume Module is by far the most comprehensive collection of visual case material available for child abuse education. We use the module for training medical students and residents in Pediatrics. The information provided is practical and the case histories and findings are very detailed and realistic. It's an invaluable tool for educating health professionals about child abuse and maltreatment.

We have recently purchased your Child Maltreatment Training Module to supplement the [Child Maltreatment] Clinical Guide and Photographic Reference published by your company. After our first review of the materials we are very pleased. We intend to use parts of the training module in sessions with the new law enforcement officers and child protective service workers in the coming year. The sexual abuse portion of the module appears to be very comprehensive. We expect that using this material will shave hours off of our preparation time for speaking engagements. Thank you so much for your efforts in publishing good educational materials for those of us working in the child maltreatment fields.

G.W. Medical Publishing has developed a very informative, comprehensive training program that can be easily adapted to instruct law enforcement officers who investigate child abuse cases. The quality of the training materials is top notch and complete. The color clinical photos and radiographs alone are training treasures. My staff loves it.
