Big “C” Conversations
May 21, 2013 | 2 Comments
When I was in Kansas City last week one of my sessions was geared toward emerging issues in forensic healthcare. I was asked to speak on the topic, and while I understand that the request was geared more towards a “specific populations and circumstances” kind of talk, I decided to take it in a slightly [...]

Disability and Transgender Survivors
May 13, 2013 | Leave a Comment
No articles to recount this week–I spent Mother’s Day thoroughly engaged with my family to the exclusion of all things media-related. So a quick post about an upcoming webinar on a topic not widely covered: FORGE is offering a session, Disability and Transgender Survivors: Empowering Providers Who Work with Multiply Marginalized Populations. It will be [...]

Since Last We Spoke (Nurses Day Edition)
May 6, 2013 | Leave a Comment
A quick post to wish everyone a happy Nurses Day (in the US, or International Nurses Day, which is Sunday–you pick). I’m heading out the door to SoCal for a couple different stops with the Marines (1st defense, then prosecution, so should be a lively week), but I managed to get a little reading done [...]

Trauma Informed Approach for Youth
May 2, 2013 | 2 Comments
First, what a lovely day I spent with Vermont nurses today. Really interesting conversation (plus the location, which I tweeted, was awesome). Second, between training Army lawyers earlier in the week and training 2 sets of Marine lawyers next week, can I tell you how nice it was to be in a room full of [...]

10 Things: Non-Clinical Resources
April 23, 2013 | Leave a Comment
I get a lot of questions about the resources I rely on–what are the essential books, journals and websites I turn to to do this work. I am a firm believer that you can find relevance anywhere you choose to look for it. I am also a firm believer that all knowledge makes you better [...]

I don’t know about you, but last week I reached my news saturation point. By Friday night I had to shut down my electronics and just get away from all of it. (My eyes needed a break, as the brilliant Amy Poehler stated.) So a lot of what I’ve been reading *isn’t* about Boston, but [...]

Annals of Internal Medicine has published a new position paper from the American College of Physicians and the Federation of State Medical Boards: Online Medical Professionalism: Patient and Public Relationships. I haven’t seen a lot from the physician groups on this issue, so I look forward to reading through it. RWJF’s Human Capital Blog has [...]

I confess, an absolutely gorgeous weekend here in DC kept me outside and away from all electronics most of the time. So what I’ve been reading since last we spoke is a bit scant. However, there’s some good stuff among the list for you this week–if you read nothing else, check out the piece on busyness [...]

This week is crazy. Hell, this month is crazy. I know a lot of you are booked up with events and engagements. After all, here in the US, April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month; Crime Victims’ Rights Week is April 21-27. Lots going on. Happily I had a lovely family weekend before things really [...]

Nurse’s Guide to the Use of Social Media
March 28, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Because I get *so* many questions about this issue, and because it is now a standard part of my testimony lecture, allow me to repost the National Council of State Boards of Nursing‘s white paper, A Nurse’s Guide to the Use of Social Media (PDF). Everyone should read it; program managers, maybe a few times so [...]
