Abstract
Intimate partner violence is as prevalent as many conditions for which we routinely screen. Yet intimate partner violence remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. Physicians and other health care workers are in a unique position to detect it and intervene. This article reviews what we can do, what we should do, and what we legally and ethically must do.
