On Feb. 21, the Schwartz Center Rounds will present “Do juSTIce: Caring for the Incarcerated.”
The multidisciplinary forum enables clinical caregivers to discuss social and emotional issues that arise in caring for patients. All UNMC and Nebraska Medicine students and employees are invited to attend the forum from 11:50 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Eppley Science Hall, Room 3010.
Do juSTIce is a student-led Legacy project supported by the Office of Community Engagement within Academic Affairs. Do juSTIce interacts with inmates to deliver STI education, testing and treatment, as well as allows them to develop strategies for intervention.
Panelists include:
- Kari Simonsen, M.D., associate professor, Division of Pediatric Infectious Disease;
- Jenny Sharrick, Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Director and 1st Five Coordinator for Pottawattamie and Mills Counties in Iowa;
- Kathy Kaiser, Ph.D., emeritus professor, UNMC College of Nursing;
- Mary Earley, captain of compliance and safety, Douglas County Department of Corrections; and
- Moderated by Elise Raney, Do juSTIce Creighton University President.
Lunch will be provided to the first 70 participants. The Schwartz Center Rounds are presented by the Office of Healthcare Ethics and held the third Wednesday of every month.
Continuing Medical Education and Continuing Education Units are available for eligible staff.
It would be great to see a Social Worker added to the list of panelists.
