"Starting July 1, the department of pediatrics at the UF College of Medicine–Jacksonville will begin offering the first Child Abuse Pediatrics Fellowship Program in the state....
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified that adverse childhood experiences are the largest contributor to health care costs, morbidity and mortality of any health condition regardless of age,” said Alexander, who will be program director for the new fellowship.
The addition of the program to the Jacksonville academic health center will help build and maintain a much-needed pool of pediatricians who specialize in child abuse in North Florida.
“The Florida Child Protection Team statewide system is in need of these trained specialists, partly to replace those doing this type of work,” Alexander said."
