Addressing Trauma and Building Resilience in Children and Families: Standardized Patient Cases for Pediatric Residents

Introduction Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma are common and can negatively impact children's health. Standardized patient (SP) learning may provide trainees with knowledge and skills to screen for and manage ACEs, apply trauma-informed care approaches, and teach resilience strat...

Methods With content experts, we developed three SP cases based on common clinical encounters, as well as didactic and debriefing materials. Case 1 focused on somatic symptoms in an adolescent with ACEs, case 2 focused on an ACE disclosure by a parent, and case 3 focused on de-escalation.
