Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health care professionals can protect children by identifying and reporting injuries concerning for child physical abuse, such as sentinel injuries (bruising and intra-oral injuries in precruising infants). Citing knowledge and collaboration barriers, health care professionals sometimes fail to recognize sentinel injuries as concerning for abuse. Interprofessional education may be an ideal format to improve health care professional\u2019s responses to sentinel injuries. However, it is traditionally limited to health care professions, while responding to suspected child physical abuse requires collaboration between health care professionals and non-health care professionals. This study\u2019s purpose was to understand if an interprofessional education framework could support the need and development of interprofessional education for child physical abuse beyond health care professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
