I know this is not geared toward forensic clinicians, but my understanding is that there’s some valuable stuff in here regardless of what type of expert witness you may be. So it’s probably worth checking out NIJ’s new online course, Law 101: Legal Guide for the Forensic Expert if you’re hoping to compound your knowledge around [...]

I typically don’t post live events here, but I want to mention this one for anyone in the DC area: NIJ is hosting a live seminar series, Research for the Real World. The next talk in the series is April 12th from 10-11:30 am: Violent Repeat Victimization: Prospects and Challenges for Research and Practice. Dr. [...]

The CDC has a free, online violence prevention course available at their VetoViolence site: Principles of Prevention. It includes 1.7 hours of continuing educations for nurses; 1.75 for physicians.

I spend a great deal of time on the issue of strangulation: teaching, writing, reviewing cases and testifying in court. A common defense that I personally hear routinely presented is that the strangulation of the victim was consensual. That is to say the victim consented to it as a part of a sexual encounter with [...]

Another new eLearning tool: NSVRC and VAWnet have released an online module on marital rape. It’s definitely worth the time, and be sure to check out the resources listed in the final slide. It’s intended for a multidisciplinary audience, so please share with your SARTs and domestic violence multidisciplinary response teams.

Although not specific to forensic clinical issues, HIV/AIDS is important to understand–not just in terms of exposure, but also in terms of the realities for our patients who have been diagnosed. The National Abandoned Infants Assistance Resource Center has a really well-done tutorial, Women [...]

Don’t miss our current giveaway. Get all of the details here to enter. Casa de Esperanza has an upcoming webinar, Toolkit to Work with Latin@ Children.  The session will be held September 28th, although they have not posted a time for this offering (hopefully we’ll have an update for you soon). Be aware that registration for this [...]

Polaris Project tweeted this weekend about their online training module for healthcare providers, which I had flagged for posting and then somehow, never actually posted. So without further delay, their module, Recognizing and Responding to Human Trafficking in a Health Care Context (note: this module will not work with Google Chrome).

Don’t forget: FHO’s latest giveaway is going on now through August 3rd! Get all the details here to enter. Yesterday, I posted the latest Articles of Note. And along with that post, what I really want to say is this: you have to read articles to stay current. This is especially true of my nursing colleagues, who [...]

When training lawyers, as I was yesterday, one topic we always discuss is photography and the pros and cons of taking photographs. Particularly genital photographs. I have found both prosecutors and defense counsel have some very specific opinions about this, and I love to have that conversation. But in the course of yesterday’s conversation, I realized that [...]
