Drugs and the Forensic Patient

The Tribal Forensic Healthcare project has an upcoming webinar, Drugs and the Forensic Patient. The session will be held March 28th at 1pm ET. Like all of their sessions, free CEs are available for physicians and nurses. And yes, it will be archived. From the announcement:

This presentation will include discussions on how to recognize effects of drug exposure on patients seeking forensic care, considerations for forensic exam administration, such as consent and sample collection, as well as a review of additional best practices related to drug-facilitated sexual assault. At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will have increased knowledge of expected effects of various drugs and specific intervention that will assist with adjusting their approach to a forensic exam.
