Register for October 30 Webinar on Intimate Partner Violence Resources for Surgeons

Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects surgeons and their friends, family members, and patients, and surgeons, physicians, and healthcare professionals can change an individual’s life by effectively identifying people who have sustained IPV and referring them to the appropriate resources.

The ACS and partner organizations—Society of Gynecologic Surgeons, American Academy of Ophthalmology, American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and American Urogynecologic Society—are hosting a moderated webinar discussion, “Breaking the Cycle: Advocacy Resources for Surgeons Regarding Intimate Partner Violence,” which will provide viewers with an opportunity to learn about what advocacy resources victims and survivors of IPV have access to.

The discussion on October 30, led by Carrie Sim, MD, PhD, FACS, will cover what legal protections are available and how a surgeon can be an advocate regarding IPV. The live discussion will be followed by a Q&A.
