Human Trafficking is an evil in society. It is incumbent upon doctors of optometry as health care professionals who interact with members of the public on a daily basis to do their part to minimize such trafficking. This course provides you an overview about existing law (such as the Traffic Victims Protection Act of 2000), reporting obligations, statistics, and more. Through this course, you will be provided tools and actionable information regarding what to do if you suspect human trafficking or child abuse and neglect.

Some pets provide more than just affection. Some pets – especially dogs – are considered ‘service animals’ under the Americans With Disabilities Act. Pet dogs will make their way into doctors’ offices. You may ask yourself as a doctor of optometry when a patient is accompanied with a dog, ‘What should I do? What factors should my staff and I consider?’ This course navigates issues surrounding service animals, emotional support animals, and therapy animals, while analyzing the intersection between service animals and ADA compliance.
