Undoing Institutional and Racial Trauma Through Interprofessional, Trauma-Informed Education

Abstract

Trauma-informed care is a transdisciplinary framework that existed well before 2020, but it is now more imperative to teach it and incorporate it into medical education. This paper describes a novel interprofessional curriculum and its focus on trauma-informed care—notably, including institutional and racial trauma—that was implemented by Yale University for medical, physician associate, and advanced practice registered nursing students.
