Break the Cycle Part II - An Intimate Partner Violence Conversation

Intimate Partner Violence has a global presence across all genders, ethnicities, socioeconomic classes, and relationship types. It affects surgeons and their friends, family members, and patients. Surgeons, physicians, and healthcare professionals have the potential to change the course of an individual’s life by effectively identifying people who have sustained IPV and referring them to the appropriate resources.

This year’s discussion focused on what to do if you suspect your colleague may be a victim of Intimate Partner Violence. This discussion includes how to approach the subject of Intimate Partner Violence and what resources are at your disposal in the workplace as an advocate, ally, or victim.
