Courses in Expertise
The expertise, in simple terms, is a report presented by professionals who respond to the questions posed by a judge, with the purpose of helping them to have sufficient knowledge to pass a sentence. To that extent, TECH Global University, with presence globally, offers to the nursing staff some Courses in Forensic Expertise with the objective of training the nurse in forensic thanatology, forensic pathology, forensic sexology, forensic toxicology, forensic psychiatry, damage assessment, anthropology and criminology.
Addressing sexual assaults
One of the most frequent circumstances in which the nursing professional must work is in dealing with patients who have suffered sexual assault. This type of victim faces a higher risk of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, suicide or medical problems as a consequence of the rape. At this point, those patients who had a positive experience with a staff trained in expertise in dealing with victims of violence tend not only to have better legal outcomes, but also a better quality of life compared to those who received standard emergency care. To that end, the specialized medical team makes use of tools that include cameras, tape measures, fluid swabs, rape kits and a high-powered light that can reveal bruises and hard-to-see fluids such as semen, urine or saliva.
Identification of child domestic violence
The TECH Global University, in tune with reality, designed a syllabus for the Courses in Expertise that includes the most urgent problems to be addressed. One of them is undoubtedly violence against minors. The first action of a nurse expert witness when encountering a possible child abuse situation must be to secure and protect the child from further trauma. Second, their professional duty is to determine whether it is an inflicted bruise or a habitual activity bruise. For example, a forensic expert will know that a bruise located on the ears, neck and other soft tissues of the body should raise a red flag alert. Subsequently, once the origin of the injury is assessed with certainty, a decision can be made whether to call in the appropriate authorities, conduct a forensic examination, or hold any third party responsible.
