Join us at the CARE Network New Provider Training and learn about Colorado’s new medical response to child abuse! Registration is free and CME and NCPD credit will be available.
The CARE Network invites all physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and nurses who have a commitment to children and want to be a “designated provider” to attend the new provider training. Participation is required to join the Network but is also open to providers interested in expanding their knowledge about identifying & treating child maltreatment.
Faculty for this two-day intensive training include child abuse, community pediatric, nursing and behavioral health experts. The curriculum provides education on the recognition, reporting and referral of child abuse. This two-day training is specifically designed to help medical professionals provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art forensic evaluations to children who may be the victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or neglect.
Becoming a designated provider provides access to the full network which includes continuing education and mentoring. The members of the network collaborate with other multidisciplinary team members to recognize, respond, refer, report and reduce the incidence of child maltreatment. Providers are also compensated for examinations through enhanced payments.
