Course Overview
This CME
module was developed from a live program, The Public
Health Leadership Forum: Violence - Implications for Health, held
on April 29, 2009 at MMS headquarters in Waltham, MA. Systems
for Intervention – Examples from the Military is one of five
modules that focus on violence as a public health and social policy
issue addressing gaps in three areas: current practice patterns, what we
have learned, and what needs to change. The
module presentations also examine various forms of violence and
vulnerable populations from the perspectives of health, public health,
and public policy. The current economic situation and its impact on
violence are also a topic of discussion.
Furthermore, presentation modules address best practices and seek
to answer what the health care/public health community, corporate and
community leaders, and policymakers can do to affect change. Utilizing
slides synchonized with audio and transcription you can
experience Judith Beal's presentation.
