Physical Abuse and Neglect in Childhood Burns

Heather Ross, MD

Our goal is a concise, comprehensive overview of physical abuse and neglect in childhood burns with these objectives:

  • Distinguish types of burns and common etiologies in the pediatric population
  • Recognize and compare clinical characteristics of non-accidental vs accidental burns and burns caused by neglect
  • Identify indications for further work up and common management strategies in pediatric burns

Heather Ross, MD, is an assistant professor of child abuse pediatrics at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY.
