Walter F. Lambert, MD
Assessing Child Maltreatment in Multicultural Populations: engaging in dialogue with children and caretakers who are different than you
Open to all disciplines. Space is limited. No cost to attend.
Walter F. Lambert, M.D., is a pediatrician with the University of Miami - School of Medicine; he is an Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and the Medical Director of the Child Protection Team for Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys, a state-mandated multi-disciplinary group of forensic experts who evaluate case of alleged child maltreatment (abuse and neglect). Dr. Lambert is a nationally and internationally known presenter with extensive knowledge of the unique skill set that clinicians need to understand and communicate with children and families from diverse social and cultural backgrounds when child abuse and neglect is being investigated. Dr Lambert served on the Board of Director’s of APSAC (The American Society on the Abuse of Children) from 2002-2008. Goal: As the United States becomes increasingly multicultural, religious rites and cultural practices can be reported to state abuse hotlines as suspicious for child maltreatment. Conversely, parents can claim that a parenting practice is cultural as an excuse for maltreatment. Learning Objectives:
- Understand the spectrum of cultural practices and folk treatments.
- Become aware of how the clinician’s own culture affects assessments and decision making.
- Develop an appreciation of the how two’s of obtaining information and the challenges of interpretation through a multicultural lense.
