Here’s a 3-hour, evidence-based training for healthcare providers (nurses, physicians, social workers) on how to screen patients for intimate partner violence, respond helpfully, and connect them with the right resources. Students are welcome and so are domestic violence advocates! The same 3-hour training is being offered on two separate evenings in Columbia (8/28/14 or 9/8/14). Participants can register for whichever date works for them– registration forms are below. Dinner will be provided and CEUS/CMEs are available. This training has been funded by the Verizon Foundation. More info is available in the registration forms below. Questions can be directed to bloomt@missouri.edu . 8-28-14 Training Info and Registration Form 9-8-14 Training Information and Registration Form
Hmmm…. Interesting!!! Now accepting applications: A UC Denver School of Public Affairs program where you can earn a Certificate in Interpersonal Violence and Health Care (CIVHC for short.) It’s a stand-alone graduate-level certificate– looks like it’s 5 classes and a practicum– which can be taken for academic credit or for continuing education credits. From their website (http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/SPA/BuechnerInstitute/Centers/CenteronDomesticViolence/DegreesandCertificates/CIVHC/Pages/InterpersonalViolenceHealthCare.aspx) :
“The CIVHC program is designed for health care professionals, students of the health sciences and those who want to further their education and training to become health advocates for victims of domestic violence. Conveniently structured for distance learners, the majority of course work is administered through brief intensive periods of study in Denver. This makes the completing the program feasible for a wide audience.”
How do you like that??! Sounds pretty cool. There’s also a certificate for domestic violence studies which is not specifically focused on health & health care.
Injury and violence prevention– including prevention of the consequences of domestic violence — is a key public health goal with a strong foundation of scientific evidence to back it up. If you’d like to learn more about this, and what the CDC is doing about it, consider this Public Health Grand Rounds offering from the National Center on Injury and Prevention Control.
