Join us on April 26, 2023, for the final IHA lecture of the spring: "Elder Abuse: Causes, Consequences, and Prevention," by Laura Mosqueda, MD. The lecture will take place at the Health Sciences Innovation Building, 1670 E. Drachman St., Tucson, AZ 85721, and will also be live-streamed.

As we age, our susceptibility to abuse and neglect increases, particularly for people who live with dementia. It can be hard to distinguish between a common age-related change and a change that may actually be a forensic marker of abuse or neglect, such as a bruise or pressure sore. In this lecture, we will discuss how to detect abuse/neglect, what to do if you have a suspicion, and how to help prevent it from occurring in the first place.

This free public lecture is open to the public. Register by April 26, 2022. 

This lecture is approved for College of Medicine DEI credit.
