Scrubs Addressing the Firearm Epidemic is working to help prepare medical students and healthcare professionals to be knowledgeable and effective advocates for evidence-based secure firearm storage and child access prevention policies.

Attendees will be able to think critically and independently about the secure storage law in their state, form their own opinions, and be able to articulate: Should your state law be changed? If so, why? And if so, how?

In the session on March 28 at Noon Central Time, hosted by the SAFE chapter student leaders at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, you will hear evidence that secure firearm storage laws save lives through a public health lens.

Dr. Susie MacLean, a retired physician on SAFE’s National Board of Directors with extensive experience as a secure firearm storage policy advocate in her home state of California, will be presenting. Joining her are two leading firearm injury prevention professionals from Giffords; Alex Nguyen (Senior Research Manager) and Erin Earp, (State and Federal Policy Attorney).

This is state-by-state work. All are welcome, regardless of what state you are from or currently live in.
