Overview
This comprehensive training equips nurse practitioners with essential knowledge and practical tools to recognize, respond to, and prevent female genital mutilation (FGM). Drawing on global public health data and U.S.-specific legal and clinical frameworks, the course explores the medical, psychological, cultural, and legal dimensions of FGM. Participants will learn how to engage respectfully with at-risk populations, conduct trauma-informed assessments, and collaborate across disciplines to support survivors and safeguard vulnerable girls.
