Adverse Childhood Experiences, Psychological Distress, and Resilience in Health Professions Students
Health professions students from some socially disadvantaged backgrounds at this institution reported statistically significantly higher ACEs-14 scores than their nondisadvantaged peers. Childhood adversity was associated with increased psychological distress but not with low resilience. Implications for equity- and trauma-informed health professions education and interventions are discussed.
