Healthcare professionals need better education to identify human trafficking victims. Simulation-based medical education (SBME) can train future doctors to recognize and help trafficked patients, improving survivor care.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Public Health
Human Trafficking

Background:

Healthcare providers are vital for identifying and intervening in human trafficking cases.
Lack of specialized education hinders healthcare professionals' ability to recognize trafficked patients.
Effective identification requires interactive training on trafficking's clinical indicators.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the development and implementation of a simulation-based medical education (SBME) curriculum for human trafficking.
To provide a framework for other institutions to create similar educational modules.
To enhance healthcare students' skills in recognizing and assisting human trafficking survivors.

Main Methods:

Needs assessment for educational intervention.

Keywords:

Violence human trafficking medical education patient-centered outcomes simulation

Development of learning objectives and assessments.

Implementation of a simulation-based curriculum for third-year medical students.

Main Results:

A comprehensive SBME curriculum was developed and integrated into the medical school program.
The curriculum aims to improve students' ability to identify and respond to human trafficking.
The process provides a replicable model for other institutions.

Conclusions:

Simulation-based medical education is an effective method for training healthcare professionals in human trafficking identification and intervention.
Standardized educational programs can improve the care and support for trafficking survivors.
Further development and dissemination of such modules are crucial for combating human trafficking within healthcare settings.
