Pam Holtzinger, a forensic nurse examiner at Frederick Memorial Hospital, joins host Colin McGuire and News-Post reporter Kate Masters to discuss one of her longest-running initiatives — training nurses across the state to conduct pediatric forensic exams in cases of child abuse and neglect.
The important but difficult work is suffering from a lack of qualified providers who can conduct the exams. Holtzinger, who served on a state task force that examined backlogged sexual assault kits, also addresses domestic violence and strangulation as well as work to recruit more forensic nurses.
