This October, the Kosair for Kids Face It Movement is once again hosting a series of Pediatric Abusive Head Trauma Prevention & Recognition Trainings (October 4th – 6th, 2023) and bringing awareness to the critically important TEN-4 Bruising Rule.
Pediatric abusive head trauma (PAHT), or shaken baby syndrome, is a severe form of child abuse that most often involves infants. In these Pediatric Abusive Head Trauma Prevention & Recognition trainings, participants will learn the early signs of maltreatment and the various injuries and conditions that may result from vigorous shaking, slamming, or impacting the head of an infant or young child. They will also be provided tools for dealing with a crying infant and ways to share information with parents to prevent abuse from occurring.
Oral health professionals play a unique and important role in the prevention, recognition, and reporting of child maltreatment, including neglect. KOHC is once again partnering with the Face It Movement on this effort to host a PAHT training for oral health professionals.
Friday, October 6th at 10:00AM – 12:00PM ET with Carla Hay, RN, MSN, SANE, AFN-C
This FREE virtual training is open to all with specialized content for oral health professionals. CEUs available for Dentists and Dental Hygienists. REGISTER HERE.
