In this episode of ACEP’s Critical Decisions in Emergency Medicine, Dr. Danya Khoujah and Dr. Wendy Chang discuss intimate partner violence. Because most patients will not readily admit to being victims of intimate partner violence, clinicians must be prepared to recognize subtle clues and understand what it takes to help their patient with a plan for safety. Also in this episode, the gender gap in medicine. Find out how disease manifests itself differently depending on the patient’s sex and potential disparities in care.
