Medical Education Curriculum Expansion (TIC and ACEs)
This is Beth Pletcher, from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. I wanted to share an experience that happened today - what I might call a curricular “win”. After introducing our TIC-ACEs module with small group, discussion-based sessions to all of our first year medical students three years ago as part of the Health Equities and Social Justice course ( https://www/medportal.org/publiction/10803/ ), we were unsure of how to continue to reinforce and build upon the TIC-ACEs knowledge across the...

Re: TIHCER June Zoom 2020
This is a very interesting presentation, and I look forward to reading Dr. Strait's article in The Permanente Journal. The subject has great relevance for the military because there is highly suggestive evidence that ACE Scores and their generally not-understood sequelae may be more common in a volunteer military that in a draft military. Attached as Item 3 is an article describing how routine ACE screening was carried out on a very large scale in one Kaiser Department, and its effects and...

Emergency departments look inward to deepen practices that support traumatized patients
An interdisciplinary team of clinicians from Brigham and Women’s Hospital had a bold idea in 2017. They would completely change the way things worked in their hospital’s emergency department so that the care provided to their patients was infused with a trauma-informed approach. That means recognizing how widespread trauma is and using a myriad of techniques to mitigate its harmful effects among patients, providers and staff. The realization of just how widespread trauma is came to light in...

By Jeanette Palermo, Greater Good Magazine, February 4, 2022 I learned about the practice of gratitude when I was in recovery from an eating disorder.
