Noontime Forum to Discuss Injuries Associated with Law Enforcement Encounters

June 28, 2023

The MMA and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) are teaming up to present a July 12 virtual noon-time physician forum on injuries associated with law enforcement encounters. 

The program, “Improving Public Health Surveillance of Injuries Associated with Law Enforcement Encounters,” is based on an MDH report.  

The MMA, the American Public Health Association, and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists have recognized that violence associated with law enforcement encounters is an urgent and substantial public health threat to our communities, and that there is a need for improved and accurate data.  

Epidemiologists Cory Cole and Jon Roesler discuss how MDH put priority into practice with the state’s first report on fatal injuries associated with law enforcement encounters. State epidemiologist Ruth Lynfield, MD, will moderate the panel.
