Because a medical exam for sexual abuse can be extremely traumatic for a child, we have designed and furnished a special exam room complete with all necessary medical supplies geared to a child's special needs. The pilot project was developed with the Child Protection Team and the City of Miami Police Department. Non-acute medical examinations for children under 12 are conducted at the Orlowitz-Lee Child Advocacy Center by pediatrician specialists from teh UM Child Protection Team. Acute cases are seen at the Rape Treatment Center near the Jackson Medical Complex.
