Human trafficking is the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act and is often called “modern-day slavery.” Having knowledge about human trafficking and what forms it exists in our community, social workers will be better equipped to identify and support survivors of human trafficking.

At the end of the presentation by WSU School of Medicine Assistant Professor Clinical Tehmina Shakir, MD, participants will be able to demonstrate knowledge about:

• Definition of human trafficking
• Different types of human trafficking
• Traffickers and Trafficking as a trade
• Trafficking Laws---International, federal and State
• Trauma informed care of the human trafficking victims
• Ethical consideration in treatment of survivors of human trafficking 
• Factors related to adolescent sex trafficking 

Individuals licensed or registered by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA); e.g., physicians, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, and professional counselors, all have a new continuing educational requirement that must be met when seeking initial or renewal of an individual’s licensure or registration. This presentation meets the human trafficking training requirement of licensing in the State of Michigan.
