A brief, 50-minute workshop effectively trains emergency clinicians to identify and care for trafficked persons. This train-the-trainer model equips providers with essential knowledge and teaching skills for broader dissemination.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Public Health
- Human Trafficking
Background:
- Emergency clinicians are crucial for identifying and caring for victims of human trafficking.
- A significant knowledge gap exists among emergency providers regarding trafficking, hindering effective patient care.
- Traditional "train-the-trainer" workshops are often lengthy and resource-intensive.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a brief, 50-minute "train-the-trainer" workshop for emergency clinicians.
- To equip participants with knowledge and skills to recognize and manage trafficked patients.
- To provide participants with instructional techniques for teaching this content to future learners.
Main Methods:
- A 50-minute workshop incorporating learning theory and principles was designed.
- Paper-based learning guides with detailed scripts for role-playing were utilized.
- The workshop focused on both content knowledge and instructional methods for clinical teaching.
- The intervention was implemented at the 2018 Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Annual Meeting.
Main Results:
- Participant self-assessment via retrospective pre-post tests indicated success.
- The workshop proved to be brief and required minimal facilitator resources.
- Participants gained knowledge and skills in both recognizing trafficking and teaching others.
Conclusions:
- A brief "train-the-trainer" model is effective for educating emergency clinicians on human trafficking.
- This model facilitates widespread dissemination of essential knowledge and skills.
- The developed workshop offers a time- and resource-efficient solution to address knowledge gaps in emergency medicine.
