Description:
The Office on Women’s Health, in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is developing an on-line set of interactive clinical cases for health care providers. The clinical cases will help providers acquire the knowledge and skills required to interact effectively with patients, particularly women and girls with histories of trauma, in a way that promotes the patient-provider relationship, improves patient engagement in care, and prevents re-traumatization. OWH will unveil the first series of cases in early spring.
