The next SAFEta webinar is one near and dear to my heart: Sexual Assault and the Military Patient. It’s going to be held July 9th at 2pm ET. Sasha Rutizer is the featured presenter, and as an aside, she and I will be doing a live session together at the IAFN conference this year in Anaheim on the related topic, Navigating Military Justice: The Forensic Nurse’s Role as Witness and Expert Consultant. Hope you can join us for that.
From the site:
This webinar will provide an overview of the military justice system as it relates to the prosecution of sexual assault. Specifically, we will discuss the role of the sexual assault nurse examiner as fact witness and expert witness for either the prosecution or the defense at all stages of the military justice system. We will also identify and differentiate between the military’s policies regarding reporting as well as the options of victim’s of these crimes. Finally, we will provide best practices as they relate to working with military investigators, prosecutors, and defense attorneys while keeping the patient’s interests paramount.
