ENTER A RAFFLE TO SUPPORT PHYSICIANS AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING
The purpose of AMWA's group Physicians Against the Trafficking of Humans (PATH) is to educate healthcare providers on the issue of human trafficking. Research has shown that anywhere from 60-88% of human trafficking victims report accessing healthcare services while still under the control of their trafficker, and thus healthcare providers offer a unique oportunity to provide support and services to this population. In 2020, we transitioned the Learn to Identify & Fight Trafficking (LIFT) curriculum to a virtual format and have educated over 250 providers in 3 events, with plans to host 7 more before the end of the calendar year.
For the month of June, the student group has organized a Virtual Raffle with a number of prizes including personalized Medelita scrubs, a Littmann stethoscope, gift cards to Starbucks, Figs & Chipotle, and more! The drawing for the raffle will take place on July 30th, with a virtual auction to follow at a later date. Buy your tickets and support the work that AMWA-PATH is doing at https://go.rallyup.com/amwapath/Raffle.
