The Department of Translational Medicine and Physiology welcomes Dr. Jessica Byram, associate professor and assistant director of Phase 1 curriculum, Indiana University School of Medicine to WSU Spokane on Tuesday, Feb. 3.
She will be providing her seminar at 12:10 p.m., “Building Safer Learning Spaces: Humanistic and Trauma-Informed Approaches in Anatomy Education.”
This seminar will explore innovative approaches to integrating humanistic and trauma-informed principles into gross anatomy education. We will explore how integrating pathology and histopathology into anatomy curricula can deepen students’ understanding of disease and foster professional identity formation. Additionally, we will discuss the challenges learners face in the anatomy laboratory, particularly when prior trauma intersects with dissection experiences, and how trauma-informed medical education (TIME) strategies can create safer, more supportive learning environments. Attendees will gain insights into curricular design that promote empathy and clinical relevance while addressing the emotional complexities of anatomy education.
We look forward to you joining us in person (SAC 147) or through Zoom!
