# Sexual Abuse and Adoption and Custody Evaluations

PART 2 / CH 42

During Year 1, each resident is expected to perform a minimum of one sexual abuse or trauma evaluation, under the direction of the Children and the Law Service, and one adoption and custody evaluation, under the supervision of Steven Nickman, M.D. These specialized evaluations often require setting aside one to two hours per week for one month. There is ample time to make these arrangements on an individual basis.
