Welcome to Preventing Firearm Injury: What Clinicians Can Do
REGISTER HERE : https://continuingeducation.bulletpointsproject.org/courses/preventing-firearm-injury/
This course focuses on several areas where clinicians can help reduce the risk of firearm-related injury and death, including suicide, dementia, intimate partner violence, unintentional injury, and mass shootings.
We’ll begin by introducing the 3A’s Framework for reducing firearm injury. Then we’ll guide you through three case studies. Each case documents a clinician-patient encounter in which the clinician uses the 3A’s to identify risk and work with the patient to reduce that risk.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the clinician’s role in preventing firearm injuries
- Identify patients at increased risk for firearm injury
- Engage in conversations about firearm injury prevention with patients
- Apply interventions appropriate to the level and type of risk
