 Amy Fairweather, JD ~ Web Briefing ~ 1.5 Hrs
Thursday, September 25 ~ 11:30am-1:00pm Thursday, October 23 ~ 11:30am-1:00pm Amy Fairweather, JD is the Director of the Iraq-Afghanistan Veterans Project for Swords to Plowshares, a community based non-profit which provides counseling and case management, employment and training, housing, and legal assistance to veterans in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ms. Fairweather is an attorney with extensive experience as a policy advocate on issues related to trauma. As such, she will clarify the legal and administrative environment in which clinicians must understand in order to work effectively with returning Veterans. These two Web Briefings both focus on treatment reporting requirements, confidentiality of clinical notes and records, and questions of operational readiness -- three important areas in which specific obligations are an inherent part of the military healthcare system. Special requirements are described clearly and succinctly, and sources of assistance are identified for situations in which procedures are unclear. |
