Healthcare professionals are uniquely positioned for opportunities to identify victims of human trafficking within clinical settings, but often fail to do so as a result of several factors, one of which is inadequate training. If we as a healthcare community can identify gaps in knowledge and appropriately address them in meaningful and effective ways, we can equip healthcare workers with the tools to not only identify patients who may be victims of trafficking, but also engage them and provide sufficient resources to ensure their overall wellbeing.
