SAFE hosting Firearm Injury Prevention Workshop for five states - March 14-15

If you are in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, or have medical students or physicians in your networks who are in one of those states, please read on!

Our hope is that you would be willing to share this information with those wanting to join forces to create comprehensive and culturally humble curriculum that equips learners as they provide medical care in a culture that leads the world on rates of firearm ownership.

This in-person workshop is for medical students, faculty, and curriculum leaders from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, and takes place in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday, March 14 at 5 PM through Saturday, March 15, ending at 3 PM at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

By working together, we can develop an efficacious and culturally responsive curriculum that will equip future physicians and other healthcare providers to address the multifaceted but addressable issue of firearm injury and death.

Thank you for helping us spread the word about this important firearm injury prevention curriculum workshop, the first of several over the next three years at SAFE.

Workshop attendees will hear from individuals in firearm culture (veterans, police, hunters, and gun shop owners) and will actively engage with medical students and firearm violence survivors to understand perspectives and perceived educational needs in FIP education.
