Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences and Association with Adult Mental and Relational Health in Medical Students, Residents, and Fellows

 

Hosted by the Trauma Informed Health Care Education and Research (TIHCER) Collaborative:

Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences and Association with Adult Mental and Relational Health in Medical Students, Residents, and Fellows

Presentation Description:

We will present the findings of this study, which assessed PACEs and mental and relational health in adulthood in over 1,500 medical trainees from four Academic Institutions across the U.S. Results may help medical educators better target needs and interventions and enable a focus on building strengths to promote well-being. Findings may support prioritizing possibilities to foster safe, stable nurturing relationships and environments for medical trainees during training.

Presenter Bios:

Michael Arenson, MD, is a Child Health Equity Research Fellow studying developmental and intergenerational trauma and resilience at UMass Chan Medical School. He completed his pediatric residency at Seattle Children’s Hospital and University of Washington and graduated from Emory University with an MD, NIH-funded MS in Clinical Research, and an MA in Bioethics. He hopes to emulate his mentors by expanding healthcare beyond the medical complex into neighborhoods and schools so all children – no matter their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or zip code – can thrive.

Avi Kopstick, MD, is a pediatric intensivist and an assistant professor at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, in El Paso, TX. He received his M.D. from the Medical School for International Health in collaboration with Columbia University, in Beer Sheva, Israel, and then completed his general pediatrics residency at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. Having practiced medicine in nearly twenty different hospital systems around the United States and the world, Avi has developed a particularly global perspective for the delivery of optimal care.

Wow!

I am so bummed about missing this!

Michael and I talked about a community such as TIHCER about 5.5 years ago when he was a med school student about to graduate from Emory and I’d recently started at what was then ACEs Connection.

I knew we needed a community that would get ACEs science into medical and nursing schools, allied health. With Gail Kennedy’s help I connected with Andres Sciolla at the University of California Davis, and connected him with Greg Williams at Baylor and Stan Sonu, one of Michael’s professors at Emory. We learned about a group out of Chicago, and ultimately Martina Jelley in Oklahoma and Ellen Goldstein, who was working with Martina.

So Ellen, Gail, and I leveraged the ACEs Connection framework (thank you for creating this, and giving me the freedom to explore it, Jane Stevens!). We leveraged the subgroup website structure and more to help get this group going! And I am so proud of and for our little workgroup and this site. And going full circle Monday with Michael speaking to you all!

This community is a dream come true. It needs to be replicated by infusing this science into all curricula —  theology, law, history, business, policy, earth sciences, education, engineering, sociology, anthropology, biology, environmental studies, urban planning, agriculture, veterinary and food sciences, architecture, philosophy — everywhere all the time! That is how we will reach the critical mass of people understanding how vitally important PACEs science is to the survival of our planet and species.

There are great people working on just this idea now; one is Tyler Consul of Zero Abuse and its Child Advocacy Studies program, which is in 90 colleges and community colleges in 39 states. He is helping educators apply PACEs science into courses of study across all disciplines.

As Bruce Perry says, and I’ll paraphrase: to understand trauma you have to know history; to understand history you have to know trauma.

If we can help prevent trauma —  which begets more trauma — by having trusted people such as physicians sharing the science, alongside trusted people from all other professions infusing the science into their respective disciplines, we can change history.

Hurt people hurt people and the planet. Nurtured people who feel safe aren’t as focused on fear and lack and don’t plow over others and their environment to get today what will likely cause pain and lack for others tomorrow.

Thank you for your work, Ellen Goldstein and Martina Jelley, to put these great programs together!

Going forward I’ll have this meeting calendared every month. And I hope to reconnect with Michael soon. Have emailed him!

❤️🦋❤️
