Continuing Medical Education Information
Course Description:
This activity will address the components of trauma informed care and demonstrate methods for implementation in practice. Education will include content regarding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and how that information can impact health outcomes. Learners will learn communication techniques for patient care and developing relationships.
Statement of Need:
Trauma is a harmful and costly public health problem resulting from violence, abuse, neglect, loss, disaster, war and other emotionally harmful experiences and is an almost universal experience of people with mental and substance-use disorders (SUDs), according to the U.S Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Specific to Kentucky, according to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services:
Providing education and tools to address trauma in a safe practice environment can lead to better health outcomes.
Many physicians are not familiar with this approach to care and a knowledge and performance gap exists surrounding language, exams, follow-up, and provision of resources for patients.
Objectives:
- Describe the relationship among ACEs, trauma, and toxic stress and the effect on lifelong health
- Define Trauma-informed Care (TIC) and demonstrate the benefits of implementation in your practice
- Discuss and provide tools that can be implemented in practice to support positive communication, trust and the how to foster resilience in patients
- Describe public health and patient demographics in Kentucky related to ACEs and PACEs
