The TIME is now! Utilizing Trauma Informed Medical Education (TIME) to Support our Learners

Trauma is widespread, affecting most Americans and often impacting learners’ engagement in educational settings. By applying Trauma Informed Care principles to medical education, we can better support learners and reduce harm from bias, microaggressions, and systemic inequities. This approach advocates for policies and practices that prevent retraumatization and foster a more supportive environment.
