Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines intimate partner violence (IPV) as abuse or aggression including physical and sexual violence, stalking, and psychological aggression in romantic relationships between current and former spouses and dating partners. In the United States alone, about 41% of women and 26% of men experience IPV incidences during their lifetimes, emphasizing the importance of IPV screening by healthcare providers across all specialties. Learning how to mitigate the past experiences of IPV survivors in healthcare settings requires a trauma-informed lens that starts in and includes those in the medical education classroom. Establishing a trauma-informed educational framework requires recognizing the risk of generating secondary traumatic stress in learners while mitigating the risk of retraumatization among unknown IPV survivors within the classroom. This thesis provides insights into a workshop that involved the participation of fourth-year medical students at an academic medical center that used a multidisciplinary approach to teaching about intimate partner violence.
