Course Description:

The “Human Trafficking” course was designed to educate Healthcare professionals on how to assist a patient that might be a victim of Human Trafficking.  According to a recent statistic, human trafficking is a $32 billion a year industry and is on the rise in all 50 states.  4.5 Million trafficked individuals are sexually exploited and up to 300,000 Americans under the age of 18 are lured into the commercial sex trade each year.  Studies also point out that at some point approximately 1/3 of these individuals will have contact with a healthcare provider.  This course aims to provide tools and information to help healthcare professionals accurately identify a human trafficking victim and direct them to the proper authorities for help.
