Ask the Experts is a video series designed to identify important policy and practice topics and describe how research can contribute in those areas.

In this discussion, Dr. Dennis Scanlon speaks with Dr. Sheridan Miyamoto (smiyamoto@psu.edu), Assistant Professor, College of Nursing and Director of the Sexual Assault Forensic Examination and Training (SAFE-T) Center at Penn State, to discuss the problem of sexual assault and health care’s response in underserved and rural communities.
