Presenting at CAB 2025:
Integrating ecological systems theory and trauma-informed care into training offers a novel approach to prepare health professions students to address the complexities of health inequity. A 3-hour training was developed that incorporates these two frameworks and convenes students across nine professions to collaboratively address issues involved with access to care.
Team training utilizing TeamSTEPPS strategies is relevant to all health professions and should extend beyond acute care settings to enhance applicability. Participants will explore the use of different learning pedagogies to develop a team training that prepares diverse health professions to be collaboration-ready.
