An Examination Of The Prevalence Of Intimate Partner Violence Training In U.S. Medical School Curriculum, Tyson Lumbreras

Research on Capitol Hill

• 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men living in the United States experience some form of Intimate Partner Violence or IPV (Black, et al. 2011).
• Although there is some research that examines the role health care professionals play in identifying IPV (Richardson, et al. 2002), there is less research on how effectively they are trained to handle it.
• My research will determine whether medical students are receiving adequate IPV training through comprehensive data on the quality of IPV training across U.S. schools.
