The goal of this presentation is to help clinicians and their staff prepare to see and engage with female patients who have experienced trauma, especially sexual trauma, during a medical appointment. We will define trauma and explore circumstances in the medical clinic and appointment that can further exacerbate that trauma. We will explore why and how addressing trauma in a clinical setting is important and ways to ensure patients are not retraumatized while seeking medical care. The discussion will provide hints around trauma informed care to incorporate before, during, and after the visit.

• Be informed of why trauma informed care is important for your practice
• Adopt a trauma informed approach in the clinical setting
• Resist re-traumatization
