Abstract
This study aimed to assess if a 9-hour Continuing Education training resulted in increased knowledge and impacted the participants’ perspectives of future clinical work with refugees and Survivors of Torture (SOTs). A pre-post test was administered and a paired t-test was conducted (N =10, t = -5.54, p-value = .0004). The results indicated that participants increased their knowledge of trauma-informed care for refugees. Moreover, 75% indicated that they will (15%), want to (30%), or already are (30%) working with refugees. Overall, the study showed that CE trainings can increase clinician knowledge and has the potential to increase the capacity of services.
