Evaluating Student and Faculty Perspectives About the Integration of Trauma-Informed Care in Undergraduate Medical Education

TIC is perceived as relevant to medical education and practice among students and faculty. However, its integration into the undergraduate medical education curriculum is sporadic. Although certain courses incorporate TIC, a cohesive teaching approach throughout the curriculum is lacking. There is uncertainty among faculty regarding the definition of TIC and what aspects may be lacking in the curriculum, highlighting a gap in knowledge and application. The intermittent teaching of TIC affects students' ability to fully understand the impact of trauma in the clinical setting. The authors' results supported the integration of a more comprehensive TIC education in undergraduate medical curricula.
