Veteran Trauma and Transparency Series

Essential Topics in Collaboration: Veteran Trauma and Transparency Series. This is a new co-curricular opportunity for healthcare, public safety, law, and criminal justice students that has been developed between the School of Public Health, the School of Social Work, the Department of Criminal Justice, the Interprofessional Practice and Education Center, and the Center for Rural Engagement. 

There will be four workshops over this academic year. Two in the fall semester and two in the spring that will focus on increasing awareness and knowledge of military culture and experiences for future service providers to improve quality of care, assistance, and interaction with veterans. Students that complete all four workshops will earn a certificate of completion from the Interprofessional Practice and Education Center.

All sessions will be held in the IU Health Sciences Building, room C100C. This space is located at 2631 E Discovery Parkway by the new hospital building.

Co-developed and co-taught by Alex Purcell, John Kessler, and Criminal Justice Adjunct Senior Lecturer Todd Burkhardt.  Please contact Todd Burkhardt if you have any questions at toddburk@iu.edu.
