Obstetrics and gynecology residency programs show significant gaps in domestic violence education, with many faculty underestimating prevalence and failing to recognize key clinical signs. This deficiency impacts the preparedness of future physicians to address this common issue among women.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Public Health
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Domestic violence is a leading cause of injury in women.
  • Obstetrician-gynecologists are often women's primary care physicians and play a crucial role in identifying abuse.
  • Current training in obstetrics and gynecology residencies regarding domestic violence is not well-defined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current state of domestic violence education within obstetrics and gynecology residency programs.
  • To identify deficiencies in curricula, faculty expertise, and resident preparedness.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to all obstetrics and gynecology residencies.
  • The survey collected data on program demographics, curriculum content, faculty expertise, patient prevalence, teaching satisfaction, and legislative awareness.

  • Respondents indicated clinical scenarios that would prompt discussion of domestic violence.

    • Main Results:

    • 83% of programs responded, revealing typical urban programs with mixed faculty.
    • Only 28% had faculty with domestic violence expertise; one-third estimated prevalence at 1% or less.
    • 75% failed to recognize at least one clinical indicator of abuse, and most were dissatisfied with current teaching.

    Conclusions:

    • Obstetrics and gynecology residency programs exhibit notable deficiencies in domestic violence education.
    • Limited faculty interest, underestimation of prevalence, and failure to recognize clinical signs hinder effective training.
    • Residencies are not adequately preparing physicians to manage domestic violence, a prevalent issue affecting women's health.
