Pediatricians who are certified by the American Board of Pediatrics in child abuse
pediatrics and who are actively seeing suspected child abuse cases in New York
State or teaching subjects related to child abuse and neglect at an institution of
higher learning in New York State can apply to become CHAMP Faculty.
Physicians, nurse practitioners or physician assistants who work with CHAMP
Faculty and have training and experience in providing child abuse evaluations can
apply to become CHAMP Associate Faculty.
The CHAMP Faculty application process has these steps:
Submit a completed Faculty application form along with a current CV.
Submit a letter of reference from a current CHAMP Faculty member.
Submit a letter of reference from a medical professional connected with your
medical practice or a member of your department if you are teaching.
Submit documentation of American Board of Pediatrics certification for child abuse pediatrics.
After your documentation is complete, JoAnne Race, CHAMP Program
Manager, will forward your application to a committee of Faculty for review.
If you will be offering observerships, you will be partnered with an
experienced Faculty member to help you set up observerships and education
programs for medical students and residents. If you have not already taken

become familiar with it. The course is a requirement for medical
professionals seeking an observership and is often used as part of medical
education.
