Zilber College of Public Health Seminar – Guns Don’t Kill People, Bullets Do: A Public Health Wound Ballistics Science Primer

Presented by

Stephen Hargarten, MD, MPH
Professor of Emergency Medicine

This presentation frames firearm harm, care, and prevention through an emergency physician’s lens, linking clinical care and public health sciences.

Attendees will increase their knowledge of firearms, the bullets they carry, and wound ballistics.

Public health strategies to prevent firearm harm will be discussed and a vital back and forth Q&A will be encouraged. Videos of bullets behavior will demonstrate their wounding potential with public health policy implications.

The seminar can also be attended virtually on Teams.
