Human Trafficking in the Pharmacy Setting: Defining Our Role
Learn about human trafficking and its impact on pharmacy professionals. Understand victim identification and safe intervention/reporting strategies to combat this growing criminal industry.
About this course
Human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal industry in the world and is growing exponentially in the United States. Unfortunately, the profession of pharmacy has lagged behind other healthcare professions in providing education, training, and resources to pharmacists in the areas of victim identification and assistance. This is particularly interesting because limited research shows that pharmacists are situated in an integral position to identify and communicate with victims while still in captivity. Only a limited number of states require continuing education for licensed pharmacists and there is little to no training for pharmacy students, pharmacists, or technicians. This activity includes information on the global human trafficking crisis in the United States and how it relates to pharmacy in particular. It aims to educate pharmacy professionals on the types of human trafficking, the identification of potential victims, and how to safely intervene or report to appropriate authorities.
