Webinar Description:
In this interactive and evidence-based workshop we aim to extend knowledge and understanding of how trauma-informed teaching practices can be implemented in clinical education to support student success. The presenters will describe their recent research, including an integrative review of relevant literature, and focus groups conducted with MSc OT students. They will share findings regarding teaching practices that support student success and describe how they expect findings can be used for clinical education.
By the end of this webinar you will:
- Be able to define trauma and trauma-informed teaching.
- Understand the impact of trauma on learning, particularly in pre-clinical health care programs.
- Be able to identify strategies that can mitigate the effects of trauma on learning in clinical placement settings.
