What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
My interest in this topic came several years ago when I was asked as a psychology postdoc fellow to shadow some medical residents and give them feedback on their patient communication. This was in a clinical setting with a population that had high rates of trauma (women veterans). After doing this for a while, it became clear to me that both residents and patients would benefit from the residents having more training in how to work effectively with patients who have a trauma history
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
N/A
