Presented by: Elaine Alpert, MD, MPH
Faculty of Medicine
University of British Columbia
Intimate partner violence (IPV) — a major contributor to morbidity and mortality — is seen in nearly every healthcare setting. Healthcare providers are often the first and sometimes the only professionals whom survivors may encounter, and thus can play a pivotal role in identification, assessment, intervention, and prevention. This presentation will provide an overview of IPV for health professionals in clinical practice, focusing on physical and mental health manifestations, along with guidance on inquiry, evaluation, and trauma-informed responses strategies for at-risk and affected patients and clients.
