Dr. Jessica Kirk Receives Board Certification

Dr. Jessica Kirk, an emergency room physician at the University of South Alabama’s Children’s and Women’s Hospital, recently received board certification in child abuse pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics.

The certification will enable Dr. Kirk to better serve as a courtroom witness for cases on child sexual/physical abuse cases. There are only two other pediatricians in Alabama who hold this subspecialty certification. Dr. Kirk is the only certified physician in the Gulf Coast region.
