SUMMARY:5th Biennial Conference on Abusive Head Trauma: Medical\, Forensic and Scientific Advances and Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Abusive head injuries remain a significant medical and social problem in society. Significant progress has been made in our understanding of the presentation\, radiographic features\, pathology\, and biomechanics of these injuries over the past four decades. Despite this progress\, a number of controversies remain\, and much more research is needed. A broad range of disciplines\, including clinicians\, engineers\, and forensic and basic scientists\, are working to advance knowledge in this field. Unfortunately\, these disciplines often work in isolation\, each bringing their own points of view\, research methodology\, and even technical language to the problem. Interdisciplinary collaboration is infrequent\, and research is often fragmented and uncoordinated. \nDOWNLOAD BROCHURE

SUMMARY:5th Annual MINCA CAC/MDT conference
DESCRIPTION:One of the featured sessions at the conference will be a screening of the acclaimed documentary film “Playground\, the Child Sex Trade in America”. The sexual exploitation of children is a problem that we tend to relegate to back-alley brothels in developing countries\, the province of a particularly inhuman\, and invariably foreign\, criminal element. Such is the initial premise of Libby Spears’ sensitive investigation into the topic. But she quickly concludes that very little thrives on this planet without American capital\, and the commercial child sex industry is certainly thriving. Spears intelligently traces the epidemic to its disparate\, and decidedly domestic\, roots — among them the way children are educated about sex\, and the problem of raising awareness about a crime that inherently cannot be shown. \nThere will be a follow up session with the filmmaker\, Libby Spears\, to answer questions and learn how CAC/MDT professionals in Michigan can combat this ever present problem. \nClick Here to Register or Obtain Conference Information
