Family violence as a discipline of medical study and practice is now an integral component of medical education. Education about family violence should be spread among many courses and delivered by a variety of faculty throughout the four years of medical school. Medical faculty are just beginning to appreciate the complexities of teaching about family violence, in particular the issues involved in dealing with their own and their students' attitudes, feelings, and reactions to patients who have suffered from abuse. This article discusses the complex issues that need to be considered in preparing medical students and a broad range of medical faculty to teach and practice effectively in this area, and offers practical recommendations for approaching this complex issue. It notes the need for support services for both faculty and students, ranging from treatment for ongoing individual issues to an institutional plan or protocol for dealing with potential crises.
家庭暴力作为医学研究与实践的一个学科领域，如今已成为医学教育不可或缺的组成部分。关于家庭暴力的教育应在众多课程中展开，并由医学院四年制教学过程中的各类教员进行传授。医学教员才刚刚开始认识到讲授家庭暴力问题的复杂性，尤其是在处理他们自己以及学生对遭受虐待患者的态度、感受和反应时所涉及的问题。本文探讨了在让医学生和广大医学教员做好准备以在该领域进行有效教学和实践时需要考虑的复杂问题，并针对如何处理这一复杂问题提供了切实可行的建议。文章指出，需要为教员和学生提供支持服务，从处理持续存在的个人问题的治疗到应对潜在危机的机构计划或方案。
