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...

Medical students' ACE scores mirror general population, study finds
A national survey published in 2014 revealed a disturbing finding. Compared to college graduates pursuing other professions, medical students, residents and early career physicians experienced a higher degree of burnout. Citing that article, a group of researchers at University of California at Davis School of Medicine wondered whether medical students’ childhood adversity and resilience played a role in their burnout, said Dr. Andres Sciolla, an associate professor of psychiatry and...

Tomorrow’s Doctors will Diagnose the Mental Toll of Climate Change [ozy.com]
By Carly Stern, Ozy, July 22, 2019. First-year medical student Anna Goshua was interviewing an emergency room physician in March to learn more about the job when she heard about a patient who had come all the way from Puerto Rico to that ER in Massachusetts for health care. Hurricane Maria had wiped out all prospects of the patient seeking care at home. A surprised Goshua pored over her Stanford University curriculum to learn more about climate migrants. She realized the school offered no...

Re: Center for Healthcare Strategies: Great Practice-based Resource
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...

Re: Tulsa meeting outcome
Thank you, David! I very much agree with you. In fact, that is what I was going to promote as the next step. We need to form a competencies working group and it makes sense to me to review what already exists. I had hoped that the group would review the AVA document prior to the meeting and some did. I believe the focus required for going through details of competencies will need to happen within the context of multiple sessions, online and in person, will time for reflection in between. I...

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...

Re: TIHCER June Zoom 2020
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 ."

Trauma-Informed Telehealth in the COVID-19 Era and Beyond
https://www.mdedge.com/fedprac/article/225184/coronavirus-updates/trauma-informed-telehealth-covid-19-era-and-beyond Background: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) entered the COVID-19 pandemic crisis with an existing and robust telehealth program, but it still faces a fundamental paradigm shift as most routine outpatient in-person care was converted to telehealth visits.
