Collaboration is key to providing patient-centered medical forensic exams for incarcerated survivors of sexual assault. In this webinar, expert practitioners discuss how professionals can coordinate in advance to address safety, confidentiality, patient dignity, and follow-up services.
The session also spotlights promising practices, such as the South Carolina Department of Corrections’ model for co-locating community-based advocacy services in detention facilities. In addition, attendees will explore the Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examination Virtual Practicum as a resource to train medical professionals and other responders how to coordinate and provide care for incarcerated survivors.
Objectives
As a result of this webinar, participants will be better able to:
- Identify approaches for balancing the security of everyone involved with the exam, and the patient’s privacy and dignity.
- Describe ways the hospital/forensic exam facility and the correctional facility can coordinate in advance to help ensure the process goes smoothly for everyone.
- Explain how health care providers and multidisciplinary professionals can use the Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examination Virtual Practicum to enhance their skills in providing care to incarcerated survivors.
