Her career in child maltreatment began in 1987 in the Center for Child Abuse Prevention at the Children's Health Center of St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Shaw spent 20 years in New Jersey as a clinician/educator where she directed one of the four regional diagnostic and treatment centers on child abuse and neglect. Her clinical work included outpatient and inpatient consultations around abused children as well as comprehensive evaluations of foster children. Faced with a lack of educational materials available for physicians on preventing child sexual abuse, she developed a series of handouts to be used at health maintenance visits, in English and Spanish, entitled, "What Every Parent Should Know about Child Sexual Abuse".view less
