The Global Impact of Trauma Course 2022

Experts from around the world share the latest updates in the field

Psychological trauma knows no boundaries: it affects people of every background, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, and gender. The impact on people around the globe is significant. According to a 2016 study, over 70% of those surveyed across six continents have experienced a traumatic event.

McLean Hospital offers this course aimed at dispelling long held misconceptions about assessing and treating emotional trauma. Topics include delivering care in low-resource settings and exploring special populations such as the unique experiences of refugees and displaced persons.

You can watch the course for free at any time. But if you are seeking continuing medical education credits, 3.25 CEUs are available for a small administrative fee.
