Innovative/Promising Practice Program Report
Description:
This report will present various campus organizing efforts to raise awareness and effect change in the health care arena. Domestic violence is a health care issue, and yet most professional health schools include little to no instruction on the topic in their curricula. As students and faculty, we are poised to influence curriculum reform so that every student understands the health implications of domestic violence and knows how to inquire about abuse experienced by their patients.
