    Open AccessYiran Wang, Alicia E Boyd et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2026

    Katherine Hoops, Jahan Fahimi et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022

    PURPOSE: Firearm injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States.

  • Taking Aim at the Injury Prevention Curriculum

    Kristen L Mueller, Andra L Blomkalns et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022

    The medical community recognizes that firearm injury is a public health problem. Yet we lack both the tools for and the implementation of evidence-based firearm injury screening and counseling techniques. One reason for these deficits is the lack of clinical training related to engaging patients in firearm injury risk reduction. In this issue, Rickert et al describe a pre–post evaluation of a 2-part firearm injury prevention training curriculum f…

    Kristy L Blackwood, Anita Knopov et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021

    To the Editor: In 2019, there were nearly 40,000 deaths from firearms in the United States. 1 Despite growing evidence that physician screening and counseling can identify and impact firearm safety behaviors, few physicians regularly counsel patients about these topics, and even fewer report having received formal training on how to do so. 2 To our knowledge, medical students are rarely—if ever—exposed to these topics in the undergraduate medical…
