I’m back from Seoul (14 hours in coach–ugh), and although it was a truly amazing week, I’m glad to be back in the office this week, if only for a minute. There’s much to post on, starting with a couple interesting podcasts from ReachMD. They appear to be doing a series on child health issues, [...]

I’m remiss in not getting this posted last week, but it’s been flagged and in my pile, so I knew I’d get it up here one of these days. My memory was jogged by a related resource newly released, though. So now we’ll make this a tandem event. NCVC and the National Coalition of Anti-Violence [...]

In my Inbox: Health Reform & DV
March 31, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Like many of you, I get a ridiculous amount of email. Much of it gets deleted without reading (not the mail from individuals, but the updates from organizations and agencies, which are often sacrificed for the sake of simply managing my workload). However, I try to always at least skim the mail from the Family [...]

It’s definitely not the highest quality video, but the content is good stuff, and this is one of my favorite topics. [...]

As the only healthcare provider in the room, I was trying to impress upon the group that clinicians have a stake in victim intimidation, and that the healthcare implications are significant. Although people most often think of victim intimidation [...]
