TIHCER meeting. June 22, 2019. Thank you so much to Ellen Goldstein and Martina Jelley for allowing a brief presentation to the Oklahoma based meeting today re: the ACES TIC AHRQ topic nomination by the American College of Preventive Medicine ACPM work group. The dialog and slides from today were excellent (and I have shared some already with others). A notable quote was “all of our patients are traumatized”. Another take away is that supportive care for the effects of trauma “can reduce ED...

Hi - a colleague just shared this - Priscilla may have access to a more recent version? Best, Megan

Sharing our recent editorial which includes a call for TIC in maternity care: "Nevertheless, there are ways in which VA may be able to augment the maternity care pregnant veterans receive to empower and facilitate more trauma-informed approaches to obstetric care. These include investing in programs to ensure peer support, possibly through use of mobile health technology; facilitating collaboration with maternity care providers through provision of handheld/electronic maternity records...

Thank you for sharing your experience in using the ACE findings clinically. Attached is an article describing our doing this in a 135,000 adult patient sample where the ACE Questions were integrated into a lengthy medical history questionnaire filled out at home as Step 1 of comprehensive medical evaluation. The benefits were major. Unexpectedly, colleague (but not patient) resistance was also significant. Our getting this information initially by an inert mechanism rather than face-to-face...

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...

Thank you Dr. Felitti for your kind words and helpful attachments. Your paper is so important, especially in light of the military families I work with. Your words are inspiring and transformative: "We realized that asking , initially via an inert mechanism with later followup in the exam room, coupled with listening and implicitly accepting the person who had just shared his or her dark secrets, is a powerful form of doing ."

By Britt D. K. Gratreak, July 21, 2020, University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson I applied to medical school twice. In retrospect, I was unsuccessful the first time for a few reasons: my timing was terrible, I had too much humility about my achievements, and I didn’t ask for enough opinions about my application from people who were rooting for me. My trauma was also too raw and recent to write in a way for strangers to understand. After taking a few years to focus on research, I...

The National Collaborative on Trauma-Informed Health Care, Education and Research (TIHCER) presents: Trauma-Informed Competency Set for Undergraduate Medical Education Trauma is nearly universal and a root cause of numerous health and social problems, including 6 of the 10 leading causes of death.
