This new course, developed by the AAP is designed to help build health care practitioner counseling skills in firearm injury prevention. The course contains 6 provider - patient scenarios, as well as educational materials focused on demonstrating how health care providers can deliver firearm injury prevention counseling in the office setting. It really is a comprehensive training that takes about 45 minutes. Anyone can take part in the course - it is great additional training for any of us. Plus, you can receive MOC Part 2 credit!
