Courses offered
Courses cover theoretical, epidemiological and practical aspects of the problem of interpersonal violence. The disciplines involved include community health, public health and forensic medicine. Emphasis is laid more specifically on violence towards adults and children. "DOTIP" courses (screening, taking into care and counselling of adult victims of violence), are regularly offered to health professionals, socio-educational organizations and the police in particular.

The objective of the CAS, the admission requirements, the registration cost and the dates spread out over year 2014 are indicated in this booklet.
