More about this course

In this course, a multidisciplinary group of experts will present on optimizing the role of trauma-informed care in mainstream clinical practice
The number of traumatized patients in a primary healthcare setting is estimated at 23% of all patient visits
This includes early life experiences related to childhood abuse, gender-based violence, and the tragedies experienced in everyday life, including serious medical illnesses
Most primary health care practitioners have also encountered individuals coming from war zones, armed conflict, and other disasters who have experienced torture, rape, and other highly traumatizing life events in addition to displacement and forced migration
This course includes not only a comprehensive introduction to the TIC model, but also culturally-valid and evidence-based instruments to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of culturally diverse patients
The TIC physical exam, the neuroscience of trauma, stress, and resiliency, counseling, the
Trauma Story coping with the challenges of emergency nursing, and self-care will be addressed.
The majority of health practitioners are well aware of the traumatic life experiences of their patients and their families
However, few have been trained in eliciting the patient's trauma story, identifying, and treating trauma-related illnesses, and the counseling of traumatized persons and family members. Plus, health practitioners have the burden of time constraints and the challenges of multitasking for a heavy caseload. In addition, highly traumatized patients can cause considerable empathic distress in the health care worker
