Curriculum tools are needed to incorporate these strategies into training programs so physicians are adequately trained to identify and prevent child maltreatment at the earliest opportunity. Methods A literature review established the core content for the curriculum. Resident learning needs were assessed with an online survey sent to graduating residents and teaching faculty.
