Course description

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.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
