abstract="The problem of partner violence has assumed a level of importance in the field of medicine only within the past 5 to 10 years. Impetus for this increased interest lies with strong leadership from two previous surgeons general. Another source of impetus is a growing research body which clearly shows that violence, especially partner violence, (a) is not rare in medical settings, and (b) results in considerable morbidity and mortality. This article briefly reviews research on incidence and prevalence of violence victimization among medical system utilizes. Literature illustrating a dearth of physician identification and response to victims of violence is also considered. Finally, given the high rates of victims in medical practice and the relative lack of appropriate physician response, it is argued that a need exists for physician training in identification and intervention with violence victims.   <p>Language: en</p>",
