Education Research Patient Care Service ... Local Resources Overview TCOM firmly endorses the completion of at least three years of postgraduate training and supports the completion of a one-year rotating internship either as a part of a residency program (such as in general and family practice) or as precursory training to be followed by a residency. All internship and residency programs sponsored by TCOM are affiliated with the Texas Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institutions (OPTI). This educational consortium consists of TCOM, the Osteopathic Medical Center of Texas, Dallas-Fort Worth Medical Center, Bay Area Corpus Christi Medical Center, Dallas Southwest Medical Center and Doctor's Hospital in Groves, Texas. The Texas OPTI strives to provide quality osteopathic graduate medical education opportunities that emphasize primary care, especially family medicine. The graduate medical educational programs at the UNT Health Science Center emphasize the institution's strategic goal of primary care. Currently our programs are greater than 70 percent in primary care, the majority of residents serving in family medicine. The medical school's long-standing relationship with Osteopathic Medical Center of Texas was strengthened in December 1993, when an affiliation agreement was signed between the health science center and OMCT outlining an educational alliance. This affiliation designated OMCT as the base teaching institution for the health science center's medical students, interns and residents. The Director of Medical Education was assigned to a full-time faculty member of the health science center, and program directors were named in the areas of family medicine, general internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, general surgery and osteopathic manipulative medicine. The development of these changes has resulted in the strengthening of programs at OMCT demonstrated by the increase in filled residency positions.

Evaluation of Family Violence Training Programs. Series: NIJ Research Preview Published: November 1995 4 pages 6,399 bytes Evaluation of Family Violence Training Programs From 1986 to 1992, 23 law enforcement training projects throughout the country received funding through the Office for Victims of Crime to train 16,000 police officers, other justice system staff (such as prosecutors and judges), and community service providers to improve responsiveness to victims of family violence. An NIJ-sponsored study found that the training programs appeared to have brought more uniform and progressive domestic violence policies in participating jurisdictions, improved training participants' attitudes and services to victims, and enhanced working relationships among agencies. However, the study also found that additional efforts will be needed to sustain and expand the effects of this training project. Method To learn about the implementation and effects of training programs, researchers from the Urban Institute: o Reviewed project proposals and interviewed project staff. o Analyzed case studies based on visits to model projects and interviews with key officials in New York State, Texas, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana. Projects were selected for the strength of their programs and diversity of training conditions. o Surveyed 547 family violence victims in New York and Texas. Effects of training on agency staff The most significant results of the training programs, according to police officers interviewed at the model sites, were the development of high-quality educational materials and a pool of trained individuals who could train more line officers. Most agencies did not track how many officers went through the programs or whether trained personnel were sharing their new knowledge with other staff. However, Indiana and TexasStates with training mandateshad records that showed widespread dissemination. Interviews also indicated that training was a significant impetus to policy development within many criminal justice agencies and that model policies provided in the training materials were often used to create new agency policy. Several projects surveyed law enforcement agencies to determine if policy changes could be directly attributable to the training project, but the low survey response rate limited the interpretability of the results. Most agencies tested participants before and after their training and found that the training both increased knowledge and had a positive effect on attitudes toward victims of family violence. Although many law enforcement agencies did not have hard data to verify these results, some had records showing an increase in domestic violence arrests from pretraining to posttraining periods. Many of those interviewed also indicated that the training project improved cooperation between law enforcement and other community agencies. For example, several communities formed multidisciplinary task forces as a consequence of the working relationships established during the training process. Victims' evaluations of officers' responses Results of the surveys of victims in Texas and New York indicated that police officers' emotional support was a key factor in a positive evaluation of law enforcement's response. Victims who were satisfied (50 percent of those surveyed) reported officers most often responded in pairs, insisted on seeing the victim when the abuser tried to prevent contact, did not use a mediation approach, and showed interest in the victim's story. According to the survey, victims were less likely to receive concrete assistance and followthrough on law enforcement procedures. Victims said that police failed to collect evidence, to issue warrants or appearance tickets, to make arrests, and to provide followup contacts. Victims who had a history of abuse or past encounters with police were less likely to receive any services. Was there a difference between pretraining and post-training services? In Texas, greater satisfaction was found among victims who received intervention after the training had been concluded. These results may have been brought about by the training, but they also may have been caused by other occurrences, such as changing attitudes in society or legislative initiatives. The differences were not as sharply defined as anticipated, but this may have been because some victims who were visited in the post-training period were assisted by untrained officers (some officers did not receive training). In New York, no differences between victims' satisfaction before and after training were found. Implications This study indicates that future training projects would be enhanced by incorporating mechanisms to assess project impact from the beginning of the projects, including funding for maintaining records on policy changes, training dissemination, arrest rates, and victim services provided as well as surveys to assess long-term effects. Considerations for improving training programs include: o Ongoing support for training of law enforcement personnel (i.e., funding for resource materials and retention of qualified trainers). o Enhancing responses and providing training for others outside the criminal justice system who encounter domestic abuse, such as child/adult protection agencies, clergy, and health care providers. o Enacting legislation to protect victims better and to allow law enforcement agencies wider discretion in dealing with offenders (i.e., mandatory sentences, better victim notification, and closer supervision by the courts of mandatory treatment for batterers). Perhaps the most fundamental need is to reach a shared understanding that the primary goal of any government agency's intervention in family violence cases is to stop violence and help the victim.

Associated Catholic Charities For 57 years, Associated Catholic Charities has served the growing social and health service needs of the Galveston-Houston community by providing programs aimed at promoting and facilitating self-sufficiency. Founded in 1943 under the name of Catholic Charities, the organization began as an information and referral service but quickly began providing direct social services in response to need. Originally focusing on adoption, foster care, services to pregnant teen, family counseling and family assistance, it later added programs for the elderly, refugees and immigrants, and those affected by devastating illnesses, including AIDS and cancer. In 1996, the agency was officially renamed the Associated Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Galveston-Houston. Associated Catholic Charities is fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Services for Families and Children, Inc., and its network of 1,400 agencies serves more than 12 million people annually. DePelchin Children's Center Houston Achievement Place (HAP) Houston Achievement Place, established in 1974 by a group of concerned Houston citizens, significantly helps children, youth, and families learn skills and develop relationships for a successful life. Houston Achievement Place serves the community through a number of programs that comprise a continuum of youth care and training services, including group homes, therapeutic foster care homes, independent living, innovative school and special classroom programs, model family and parent education classes, and adoption services for waiting children. Houston Achievement Place addresses a critical community need, as many of the youth living in the residential programs have been involved with family violence, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, and victimization. Children and families in the non-residential programs are often at risk to experience these same type of traumatic life experiences.
