This forum is designed to enhance your understanding of gun safety issues and the balance of constitutional rights through a series of dynamic presentations. Members of the Guns & Violence Resource Group will share real-life vignettes, fostering a productive dialogue on how to address these critical concerns in clinical settings and beyond.

Gain invaluable tools and insights to promote safer communities and better outcomes for all, especially our vulnerable populations.
