Trauma experience is common and may impact health and health care experiences for older adults. As such, training in trauma-informed care (TIC) is essential for health professions trainees. In this paper, we describe the use of life-story work, in the form of the My Life, My Story (MLMS) program as...

description Trauma experience is common and may impact health and health care experiences for older adults. As such, training in trauma-informed care (TIC) is essential for health professions trainees. In this paper, we describe the use of life-story work, in the form of the My Life, My Story (MLMS) program as one platform to enhance TIC competencies. Trainees (  = 74) who were physician (57.0%) and other health professions trainees who did MLMS interviews completed a post-experience survey about trauma disclosures and confidence in responding to these. During these interviews, 36.5% of the patients described a traumatic event and 56.8% described a stressful event, framed by the patient as "ultimately positive" - leading to resilience (42.6%) or "ultimately negative" - leading to negative life outcomes (29.5%), with other responses as not sure or ambivalent. Confidence in responding to trauma disclosures increased following participation in MLMS (t(df = 60) = 5.52,
