Integrative Experience

Victims of abuse, trafficking, and strangulation may interact with the health care system at any point on their personal journeys. The holistic needs of individual victims as well as the long-term impact of the provision of crisis care on providers while considering systemic barriers to reporting and treatment are fundamental to understanding forensics in health care. Important concepts include: best practices in forensic care processes such as evidence collection, in educational training for specialties such as sexual assault nurse examiner, and in advocacy and collaboration such as coordinated response with crisis centers, hospitals, legal counsel, and law enforcement. Open to all majors. Prerequisites: Four core courses.
