Upcoming Workshops

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.

Bridging the Hard Conversations
In this workshop, participants learn how to navigate high stakes, emotionally charged conversations with more confidence and clarity. This session breaks down what happens in our brains when dialogue gets tough, how to stay grounded when stakes rise, and how to speak honestly without triggering defensiveness.
