Description¶

A multi-modal educational intervention for senior medical students consisting of "a 20-minute interactive didactic on trauma-informed care principles", followed by "a 30-minute case-based discussion" on TIC modifications to common ED procedures such as laceration repair and incision and drainage, and "a 15-minute simulation scenario" performing splinting on a standardized patient who discloses childhood trauma. It was evaluated in a multi-site randomized controlled pilot and is released as appendices including a facilitator guide, surveys, and checklist.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Faculty training and expertise, plus trained volunteers or standardized patients, are required to deliver the intervention

Constraints¶

Evaluated only at two tertiary academic medical centers with dedicated medical student educators, which the authors say may limit generalizability

Target Learners¶

Senior medical students on an emergency medicine clerkship

Learning Goals¶

Applying trauma-informed care principles during emergency department procedures
Comfort and skill in minimizing patient distress and re-traumatization during procedures
