Children's Hospital of Wisconsin physicians among first to receive Child Abuse Pediatrics certification

Lynn Sheets, MD, medical director of the Child Protection Center at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, and Judy Guinn, MD, a pediatrician at the Child Protection Center, have completed board certification in Child Abuse Pediatrics. Dr. Sheets also is an associate professor of Pediatrics (Child Protection) at The Medical College of Wisconsin and a member of Children's Specialty Group.  

The American Board of Medical Specialties approved the new Child Abuse Pediatrics specialty in 2006, and The American Board of Pediatrics issued the first certification exam in late 2009. Dr. Sheets and Dr. Guinn completed the exam and are among the first specialists nationwide, and the only pediatricians in Wisconsin, to receive this board certification.
