Acquiring knowledge about psychological trauma, adaptive and pathological reactions to traumatic events and identifying factors for the development of post-traumatic stress disorder will allow students to signal patients at risk and monitor their progress.
The ability to integrate neurobiological and immunological mechanisms involved in the reaction to trauma will facilitate the evaluation and early intervention in physical illnesses related to traumatic life events or with adversity in early life stages, namely cardiovascular, autoimmune and metabolic disorders.
The development of assessment skills and approach to the grieving process associated with significant losses will promote the ability to individualize the information to be provided and to negotiate a therapeutic plan involving the patient and their support systems, minimizing the possibility of a post-traumatic reaction dysfunctionalTraumatic events and psychological trauma
