Abstract:

Introduction/Background: Trauma-informed care (TIC) is gaining momentum as studies examine the illhealth effects of experiencing trauma: however, this skill has yet to be included widely in medical school curriculum. The authors examined the change in knowledge, skills, and attitude of medical students after completing two or more TIC training sessions. Objective: The primary program goal aimed to increase student knowledge, skills, and confidence in implementing TIC in their future profession, and the secondary program goal was to determine whether TIC curriculum could be effectively delivered in the medical school curriculum. Methods: The program included an extra-curricular series on TIC for medical students. The program included an introduction to trauma-sensitive care and three indepth topics on vulnerable populations: victims of sexual assault; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ+) communities; and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). The program utilized an anonymous, electronic questionnaire for optional pre- and post-program surveys and individual pre- and post-session surveys on a 5-point Likert scale, administered immediately after each session and again at two years. Survey response data were analyzed as categorical data with contingency tables using the Exact test. Results: The program had a statistically significant change to “agree” or “strongly agree” with statements on TIC approach and practice. The LGBTQ+ and ACEs sessions had statistically significant changes in all statements. The sexual assault session had several statistically significant changes. Results of the two-year follow-up are under review. Discussion/Conclusion: The program was effective at bolstering student confidence and increasing knowledge of TIC. As an extracurricular program, this demonstrated the interest and effectiveness of TIC integration in medical education.
