Moving Out of the Blind Spot: Interrupting Human Trafficking
Purpose
Mary Greeley Medical Center Grand Rounds is a multi-disciplinary clinical activity which serves to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public or the profession.
Target Audience
Physicians, Advance Practice Professionals, Nurses, Ancillary Staff, Medical Students (Rotating), Non-Medical Students (Rotating), and Health Care Administrators.
Purpose
A recent study showed up to 88% of survivors of human trafficking saw a health care worker during their time of captivity, yet NONE were assisted. This presentation addresses the potential barriers to assisting a person victimized by human trafficking by health care workers. Some of these potential barriers include: Not identifying signs and symptoms, lack of separating from accompanying person, inability to talk with a potential victim, not having training on trauma-informed care, no protocol at the organization, etc.
Learning Objectives
- Define Human Trafficking and how traffickers groom their victims.
- Describe signs and symptoms of a person victimized by trafficking.
- Outline potential action steps in assisting a person victimized by trafficking.
