Human Trafficking: The Role of the Clinician (EM2803A)

Health care providers have a unique opportunity to become the first point of contact in identifying and providing assistance to human trafficking victims.

The on-demand activity is available to UTSW and community healthcare providers and will provide practitioners with information on forms of human trafficking, global and national impact, red flags, health risks and resources to respond in health care and advocate for their patients.

This course was approved by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) on March 24, 2026, in accordance with the Texas Occupations Code for health care practitioner licensure renewal requirements.
