Statement of Need

Despite the continual expansion of the United States’ diverse profile, underserved populations are disproportionately impacted by cultural ignorance and discrimination and the disparities and health inequities that they perpetuate. Without adopting and actively incorporating gender- and trauma-informed care into daily practices and interactions with patients, the medical community lacks the ability to provide safe places in which patients are able to access and receive respectful, affirming medical care.

In this CME Outfitters webcast, expert faculty will discuss the complex and intrinsic impact of trauma on patient health and outcomes and define fundamental concepts of gender- and trauma-informed care to optimize medical care and patient outcomes. This webcast will provide trauma-informed principles and actionable strategies to enhance and validate the patient experience.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the profound impact that trauma can have on patient health and outcomes.
  • Delineate the fundamental concepts of gender- and trauma-informed care.
  • Integrate trauma-informed principles including re-traumatization mitigation strategies into clinical practice to enhance and validate the patient experience.

Financial Support

Supported by an educational grant from CareSource.
