January 2019, I entered the Dominican Republic to participate in a dental mission with so much excitement, love and eagerness to help care for the Dominican people’s healthcare needs but sadly my entire world was instantly changed when I witnessed human trafficking for the first time. Not being a crime in the D.I. it is often a fear to have this horrendous crime hidden. Given an opportunity to spend time with survivors I felt a new purpose flood my heart. Little did I know that trafficking was just as rampant in my own country and happening right before my eyes. I just didn’t understand how to look for it. You will too be halted and crushed to learn the prevalence in our country. In a survivor focused survey, an astounding 87.8% of sex trafficking survivors saw a healthcare provider while being trafficked. Most were not identified as victims. This crushes my heart and has set my heart and passion on fire to spread awareness in hopes in helping to end this horrific crime. We have to do better as healthcare providers. This presentation has been created by leading experts that are dedicated to being the generation to end human trafficking.  Learn how you as a healthcare provider can be equipped to address this issue most likely not if but when your office is faced with this scary and heartbreaking situation. The following will be covered in this course:
