Another possible future project will focus on retrospective assessment of our LIFT and Sustain attendees to assess proficiency. We are also continuing our efforts to connect with HEAL leaders and discuss future study ideas.The current chair of the committee is Minka Gil and the assistant co-chair is Imaima Casubhoy.
Prior Research Projects:
- The Impact of Human Trafficking Training on Health Professionals’ Knowledge and Attitudes was published in April/May in the Journal of Medical Education & Curricular Development (Sarah Hofer, Emily Anderson, Sahar Caravan, Dr. Geynisman)
- Jennifer Talbot is working on a national Surrey of US Medical Schools regarding human trafficking curriculum.
- A manuscript that assess training of surgical residents regarding human trafficking is being finalized by Sneha Aidasani
