These curricula meet the national recommendations on intimate partner violence education for health care practitioners.
This curriculum and material has since become the “mother of all curricula” on domestic violence and health care and it is still considered the bible of the field. The curriculum includes two very detailed manuals, one for participants and one for trainers. The trainer’s manual includes all the visuals (overheads) and handouts necessary for training, as well as detailed suggestions as to how to present the material and facilitate interactive learning. Many tools and resources are also part of the package. There is no video material included. However, the FVPF recently created a training video (see below: short curricula) that would complement the curriculum. The unique feature of this curriculum is that in addition to teaching important knowledge and clinical skills for individual providers, it devotes a substantial section to the organizational change necessary to support an improved health care response to domestic violence. The material can support trainings up to two full days in length, but can be adapted to shorter formats. The participant’s manual can serve as a great resource manual for health care facilities seeking detailed information on the medical response to intimate partner violence. Participant/Resource Manual: $65, Trainer’s Manual: $45, both: $100 Order at http://store.yahoo.com/fvpfstore/resandtrainm.html 383 Rhode

Authored by Drs. Connie Mitchell and Cindy Kuelbs, this is one of the only advanced curricula available on this issue, targeted at forensic examiners, members of clinic-based response teams and emergency dept personnel. Assuming basic knowledge of domestic violence dynamics and clinical management of victims, it provides in-depth training on assessment and forensic examination of victims, as well as providing theoretical background for understanding domestic violence dynamics, incidence data, and clinical approaches. It thoroughly covers law and legal process in California, one of the few states in the U.S. where medical providers are mandated reporters of domestic violence (adult abuse). The curricula includes several slide lectures with excellent instructor’s notes, a wide variety of video clips, discussion questions, handouts, some exercises, and background articles. This curriculum is from 2000. They have since built a modular curriculum that can be adapted flexibly to a variety of audiences and formats. They have also moved away from the lecture format toward more interaction and experiential learning. They have used the train-the-trainers model to build expertise around the state. Trainers have regular conference calls and annual meetings. View their training resources and contact them at http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/medtrng/

Video: Voices of Survivors Note: in comparison to Screen to End Abuse (see above) this video has no clinical scenarios, but it does have survivor interviews (still pictures with voice-overs). Written and directed by a physician for health care practitioners, Voices of Survivors addresses the dynamics of domestic violence, its prevalence, and the need for providers to routinely screen their patients. It offers specific step by step instructions on how to screen, how to support victims and assess safety, and how to give effective referrals. Dr. Nicolaidis' video is strengthened by interviews she conducted with survivors of domestic violence who retell their personal experiences and offer suggestions for health care providers to improve their response.

Making the Connection: Domestic Violence and Public Health Note: this is not a skills curriculum for clinical practice Linda Chamberlain, PhD, MPH from the Alaska Dept of Public Health developed this set of slide lectures (on CD with an accompanying guidebook) that makes the connection between family violence and leading public health concerns and presents effective strategies for responding. This evidence-based tool offers the most relevant research on family violence, implications for select public health programs, recommended clinical and policy strategies, promising practices and resources from around the country. Great for public health professionals, program planners, and anyone looking for research on the health impact of intimate partner violence. The slide lectures on the following topics can be used individually or in combination (167 slides total)
