The Interprofessional Collaboration Committee (IPC) is seeking member input and interest on topics for position statements for 2023. We have several ideas but want members of the Academy to know we are interested in diverse ideas and member expertise. Some of the suggested topics for position statement development include Care of the Patient with GSW, Providing a Forensic Healthcare Response to the LGBTQIA Patient, Responding to Patients Affected by Sexual Assault or Abuse, QI/QA, and Peer Review in Forensic Nursing Practice. If you are interested in authoring a position statement or have an idea about a clinical topic contact anyone on the IPC or email Val Sievers. Vsievers@afnmail.org
