Each year, more than 1,300 children receive medical evaluations, social services, psychological assessments, and psychotherapy at UCDMC. Multidisciplinary training and pio-neering research on medical evaluations of sexually abused children and the psychological sequelae of child abuse and neglect are underway at the Center. As the former Branch Chief, Sexual Assault Victim Services Program, State Office of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP), Ms. Peterson was responsible, in conjunction with an advisory committee, for the development of the California Medical Protocol for Examination of Sexual Assault and Child Sexual Abuse Victims and assisted in the development of the OCJP State Training Curriculum for sexual assault/child sexual abuse medical examiners.
