Be sure to check out our featured topics this week at #WCI Tuesday afternoon @ 3:15pm, moderated by Cori Repp, MD Course #2802 Medical Factors Impacting Major Contributing Cause: What are Chronic, Preexisting Age-Related Conditions to be Aware of? How do we establish an injured employee’s baseline to determine the need for treatment after the injury? The history, physical exam and diagnostic testing can help identify what is chronic, pre-existing, age related, any co-morbidities and whether the injury may or may not be work related. Join our panel of industry experts to learn how these items can be used to construct the baseline and the critical pieces of documentation that allow us to support these decisions. Wednesday morning: 8:30 am Course #3300 Injury Prevention and Treatment: Make Your Workplace the Happiest Place on Earth! Also moderated by Dr. Repp, with Concentra OnSite leader Jeffrey Kirkpatrick MD, MBA co-presenting. It doesn’t take a magic wand to improve the success of your injury prevention and management programs – only a little planning ahead for that first touch. Join our panel of experts who will discuss the importance of partnerships in the workers’ compensation system to avoid preventable injuries and make that first injury visit set the tone for successful management. We will review points of entry into the system, including the advantages of telemedicine, onsite providers and different levels of care to meet your needs. #OccupationalMedicine #occupationalhealth #employeehealth #workerscompensation #preventivemedicine #ACOEM #AOHC

MITC Newsletter, Day 1: Here are some of the stories which came out of Day 1 of the WSU MIT Conference.

🚨 TSF's Global Majority Research Committee (GMRC) announces its speaker series! 🌍 A primary goal of the GMRC is to elevate Majority World discourse and voices within the global Trust & Safety ecosystem. To that end, starting this November, the GMRC is launching a Monthly Speaker Series to explore complex T&S issues and solutions with a focus on the Majority World. This is an incredible opportunity to dive deep into research that sheds light on pressing challenges faced by communities across the globe. We're currently seeking researchers and scholars who are eager to present their original work in our speaker series. They may hail from academia, civil society, or the industry with a proven track record of work or scholarship on T&S topics. Individuals may be based in the Majority World and/or be studying T&S issues in the Majority World. Interested in listening in? Click here to sign up: https://lnkd.in/e3KJqnmH Interested in speaking? Fill out the sign-up sheet: https://lnkd.in/e7DHe-AK Join us in building a global dialogue that brings forward innovative and meaningful discussions on T&S. Let’s elevate the conversation together!

Hi community, I'll be presenting at the Visitor Studies Association's Annual Conference on July 18th in St. Paul, MN (the stolen lands of the Dakota people). The talk is titled "Redefine Visitor Studies Using Community Voice: A Creative Evaluation Story." I'll share about the Creative Evaluation & Engagement (CE&E) approach, how it works in practice, and how we integrate arts-based methods into the process. I will also briefly touch on how this work mirrors Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), and how CBPR pairs well with CE&E. I was supposed to give this talk with Sully Moreno, but Sully won't be able to join us IRL. Perhaps, like we did for AEA, we will offer a virtual session for those who aren't attending VSA. Is there interest? Let me know in the comment section! I am also reminded that this is not my first time presenting at VSA. In 2021, Anna Rebecca "AR" Lopez and I led a presentation titled "Centering Community: A Radical Discussion for Change in Visitor Research," which touched on #communitycentricfundraising and #evaluation. <3
