Gun Violence: The Healthcare Provider’s Role in Prevention

These next two weeks are going to be weird–going to Asia turns my head inside out, so bear with me, please. We’ll start this short week off with a great webinar. Wish I had had more notice on this one, but hopefully some of you will still be able to attend. The National Health Collaborative on Violence and Abuse is offering Gun Violence: The Healthcare Provider’s Role in Prevention on June 4th from 2:30-4pm ET. There are CMEs for docs, but sadly none for nurses on this one.

From the announcement:

preventing gun violence. This webinar will review the impact of gun violence on families in the United
States and discuss evidence-based approaches to gun violence prevention.
