Human Trafficking is considered a form of modern day slavery. It is a multi-billion-dollar industry and occurs in all parts of the world. It is believed that at latest count, over 20 million people, from all walks of life, has been victims of human trafficking. From child sex trafficking, to forced labor (farm workers, domestic servants and construction workers), these victims have been denied their freedom, their livelihood (earned wages), and are often subjected to inhumane living conditions and unsafe working environments.
The purpose of this educational offering is to familiarize the healthcare professional with the issues of human trafficking, including recognition of potential victims, identification of support services available for victims of human trafficking, and acknowledgment of the legal obligations of healthcare providers when caring for potential victims of human trafficking.
This course meets the Florida Board of Nursing requirement for 2 contact hours of continuing education on the subject of Human Trafficking.
This course meets the Michigan requirements for continuing education for nurses, pharmacist and pharmacy technicians, and nursing home administrators.
