Human Trafficking: A Public Health Crisis
Click on the Register tab to start the course.
This course meets continuing education requirements for the Florida Boards of Nursing and Podiatry, 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.
Current Florida Board of Medicine relicensure requirements available here.
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 percent 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. Providers will learn how to appropriately assess victims and clearly know when and how to report cases to the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
