If you suspected that a child under your care was suffering abuse from a parent, what steps would you take?

"During my residency training, I was very fortunate to have been trained thoroughly on the reporting requirements for suspected abuse. I would document what I found and why I suspected abuse and report it to the proper channels in this state. I'd like to learn more about your reporting requirements. Have you had to report abuse in the past?"

Whether or not your residency training was in Pediatrics or Emergency Medicine, you likely have had some training in reporting abuse. Assure your interviewers that you will study the state requirements for reporting abuse if you join their program and do what is necessary to report the incident and protect the child.
