This content is intended to allow physicians to improve their knowledge on identifying and managing victims of domestic violence, intimate partner violence and the growing numbers in human trafficking. Recent studies show only 40% of women and 27% of men were screened for domestic violence last year but 88% of survivors were seen by healthcare providers and none were identified.

This module fulfills the State of Florida 2-hour statute requirement for physicians needing to renew their license.
