Overview
This course provides facts about the human trafficking world and the resulting psychological and physical effects to the victims involved. It also provides a guide to help the dental professional identify a trafficking situation as well as information about mandatory reporting of the crime.
In addition, this course delves into the reasons that human trafficking is a high-income business for traffickers as well as how to identify both victims and the perpetrators within this sub-world. There is a great need for educated healthcare providers to recognize and report offenders of trafficking. Finally, this course provides resources and information needed to assist a victim and to report known traffickers who are involved in all forms of trafficking. The increase of individuals entering the United States has made the chance of treating an individual who may be a perpetrator or victim of human trafficking a real possibility. Knowing the signs that indicate a trafficking situation is paramount in assisting a victim and keeping your practice personnel safe.
