CCPM 551/552 (Sec 1) Domestic Violence Survivors Clerkship I & II
Among the many challenges faced by victims of domestic violence is finding quality dental care delivered by compassionate, non-judgmental providers. This clerkship offers an opportunity to provide comprehensive dental treatment to female victims of domestic violence referred to the dental school from House of Ruth & Marian House. 65-75% of injuries resulting from abuse occur in the region of the head, neck and/or mouth; therefore dental providers can play a critical role in the health care response to domestic violence. Participation in weekly seminars on a diverse array of topics associated with providing dental care to this vulnerable population is also included.
