​Physicians and their Role in Human Trafficking

2/27/2018

OCMS was proud to be a co-sponsor with the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS) medical student section for a night that included networking and a program on human trafficking. This program was instructed by Stephanie Krieger, certified T3 trainer by the Michigan Human Trafficking Task Force and co-founder and vice-president of Agnes’ Light, an emergency, short term shelter for human trafficking victims. The program was very informative and thought-provoking for all those who attended.

OCMS wanted to provide our physicians with some of the valuable information that was discussed at the program, so we located an article from the Association of American Medical Colleges entitled, “Physicians Can Play Crucial Role in Identifying Human-Trafficking Victims.” This article talks about the statistics, the signs to look for and where to go for further information.

A course in human trafficking is also a requirement when renewing a medical license. MSMS offers an on-demand webinar that meets the state requirement. For more information, go to https://www.msms.org/Education/On-Demand-Webinars
