Description |
Dr. Steven Sherrets, Criminal
Justice/Mental Health Manager at DHHS/DOC, originated Forensic Grand
Rounds in order to bridge the gap between corrections, mental health,
and law enforcement and to educate participants on the best practices to
use when serving those who are incarcerated and have a diagnosis of
mental illness.
In presenting Forensic Grand Rounds, Dr. Sherrets uses a format traditionally used in residency training where physicians examine a case to gain new information and enhance clinical reasoning skills. In a unique application, Dr. Sherrets uses this model and applies it to forensic cases, which deals with the application of scientific knowledge to legal problems and proceedings. |
