Firearm injury prevention strategies in medicine and how physicians can play a role in gun safety
Do gun violence prevention programs work? Why is my doctor asking if I own guns? Why are doctors asking about guns? How can doctors help with gun safety? Our guest Chethan Sathya, MD, director of the Center for Gun Violence Prevention at Northwell Health, joins to discuss the critical issue of gun safety and how hospitals can use a strategic framework that includes community engagement, research, policy development, clinical integration, and medical education.
