Testimonials

“As a trainer, I plan to use the Virtual Practicum with new nurses, seasoned nurses, paramedics, and grad students as part of online training and classroom education. I love the clinical scenarios and the perspective that different health care providers bring to taking care of patients.” –Valerie Sievers, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Forensic Healthcare Consultant and Educator

“The Virtual Practicum features scenarios where you’re able to practice the medical forensic exam, but it doesn’t stop once the patient leaves the health care facility. You get to see the whole process, from crime lab DNA analysis through prosecution, which also makes it an excellent training for law enforcement, prosecutors and victim advocates. At EVAWI we’re all about multidisciplinary training so we can surround survivors in 360 degree care.” Jacque Bassett, End Violence Against Women International

“Providing care for incarcerated survivors and coordinating with staff from detention facilities is not always easy or simple. The Practicum includes a new training scenario that offers practical guidance and gives professionals the tools to ensure incarcerated survivors get the care they need and deserve.” Linda McFarlane, Just Detention International

“I wish I had seen the Virtual Practicum earlier in my career. I found it very useful, and it helped create an understanding of what the patient has already gone through before I, or another law enforcement professional, even enters the picture. ” Senior Investigator Matthew Stegner
