Online Education

So, I thought you might appreciate an update on the online version of the training curriculum; we're hopping about, trying to make it good to go by the end of the month. At present, I do believe we've managed everything in terms of data and other content; we're just proofing and making some small aesthetic adjustments to ensure that the quality of the finished product is up to snuff.

I'll keep you posted on the progress; hopefully, it won't be too much longer before we're ready to show off our newest line.

While I'm Posting ...

We've just received a new shipment of the Physical Abuse and Neglect training curriculum, so if you were holding out to buy one until they were in stock you should call us soon! They didn't last very long last time, and I don't expect them to be around much longer in this printing.

Dr. Giardino Appearance

One of G.W. Medical Publishing's most illustrious authors will be presenting a Plenary address at the "Protecting Delaware's Children" conference in Dover next week.

Dr. Angelo Giardino, who has served as head editor on a number of G.W. titles (including Child Maltreatment, Recognition of Child Abuse for the Mandated Reporter, Intimate Partner Violence, and a host of others), will be presenting on unintentional injury and child maltreatment at the conference.

If you're going to be attending, I envy you!

Introducing Dr. Ushari Khalil

G.W. Medical Publishing is happy to announce that we are working to translate and customize our content for use by non-English speaking professionals in the Arab Region. This is the first step in G.W. Medical’s plan to offer our content for localization and translation around the world. By doing so, we hope to be able to provide the same level of educational and forensic resources to child advocates and other professionals around the world who do not speak English that we do to our customers here in the United States.

Dr. Ushari Khalil, director of ZAW Humanitarian Consulting and the International Institute for Humanitarianistics, will be assisting G.W. Medical Publishing in overseeing the translating translation of ourof our library of forensic titles into Arabic. Dr. Khalil has worked for the past 20 years to document and protest human rights abuses in his home country of Sudan. He is an important advocate for the rights of internally displaced populations and of children affected by armed conflict in Sudan.

After earning his doctorate degree in Sociolinguistics at Georgetown in 1979, Dr. Khalil applied his knowledge of language rights, cultural hegemony, and the use of discourse to expose the willful distortion of the realities of violence in Sudan. Since from 1996From 1996 to 2004, , Dr. Khalil has worked with UNICEF in the field of child protection in both Government- and rebel-controlled areas and in the UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office in Nairobi. He also worked on second-tier ethnic conflicts and peace building in Sudan.

As director of Zaw Humanitarian Consulting, Dr. Khalil lends his expertise in areas including human trafficking, child sexual exploitation, domestic violence, child protection, and cultural and social issues to law enforcement agencies, social service professionals, and other agencies and entities working to protect children.

In 2002, Dr. Khalil was honored with an Oak Fellowship at Colby College, where he lectured on defending human rights in Sudan.

Whoops

So, I hadn't realized that it's been more than a week since I last posted; I try to keep it a little more regular than that. But, to be fair, we've got a bit going on right now. We're working on several titles at the moment, for example, and I'm going over our curriculum to convert it for online delivery.

I'm expecting that to be ready sometime this summer, if you're curious.
