ForwardDetecting and Responding to Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a major public health problem, both domestically and internationally. Healthcare providers are often the only professionals to interact with trafficking victims who are still in captivity. Recent studies have demonstrated that up to 50% of trafficking victims in the United States were seen by healthcare professionals while in captivity and were not identified. This course will help guide healthcare professionals to identify human trafficking victims when they present in the clinical setting.
This course meets continuing education requirements for the Florida Boards of Medicine, Osteopathic Medicine, Podiatry, and Dentistry, Florida Council of Physician Assistants and Florida Council of Dietetics and Nutrition. This activity has also been approved for Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Pharmacy, in accordance with Florida's Human Trafficking Bill, Section 456.0641, Florida Statutes. For more information on Florida’s Human Trafficking Bill and to download printable posters, go to Department of Health Human Trafficking website.
Samaritan Physicians: Successful completion of this activity will qualify Samaritan physicians for annual policy discounts. Upon completion, please print your certificate and submit to Samaritan for consideration.
