Increase in child abuse injuries during the COVID-19 Pandemic in West Texas
There was a sharp increase in cases of child abuse presenting to our institution during the year 2020. Thus, we sought to determine whether the confluence of pandemic-related social changes would result in an increase in child abuse cases severe enough to warrant emergency medical attention in the West Texas region.
    
Dr. Sharmila Dissanaike is a clinically active trauma, burn and acute care surgeon who has published many original research and review articles on burns, including exploring patterns of child abuse, and conviction rates for these crimes in this region. She is currently President-Elect of the American Burn Association

Hector Garcia is currently a third-year medical student at Texas Tech Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, Texas interested in going into Radiology. He is from Houston, Texas and attended Texas A&M University where he attained his Master of Engineering. 

Dr. Thomas Wyatt is currently a third-year resident within the General Surgery Residency Program at TTUHSC.


This event is free and open to the public.
