This case study explores the utilization of an integrated behavioral health model to train resident physicians in conducting trauma-informed pelvic examinations for patients who have a sexual trauma history. Incorporating behavioral health specialists into medical education can enhance residents’ understanding of trauma, improve patient-centered communication, and reduce distress during examinations. This presentation will highlight key components of microteaching, the impact on the physician’s competence and patient experience, and lessons learned in fostering a trauma-centered approach. Attendees will gain insights into how integrated behavioral health can be leveraged to improve clinical skills and patient care in sensitive medical procedures.
