The American College of Surgeons (ACS) Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Task Force—co-chaired by Barbara Lee Bass, MD, FACS, FRCSC(Hon), ACS Immediate Past-President, and Patricia L. Turner, MD, FACS, Director, ACS Division of Member Services—recently partnered with the ACS Fundamentals of Surgery Curriculum to develop an online case scenario on IPV. Through this online simulation, residents and practicing surgeons learn to recognize possible incidents of IPV and employ recommended strategies in caring for suspected victims. The case scenario can be accessed on the ACS website.
