Stephanie Holst

Health care providers involved in an unanticipated adverse event, medical error, and/or a patient-related injury may experience trauma, defined as a second victim experience (SVE). Students and new staff are more prone to SVE’s, which places them at high risk for lack of engagement, burnout, and leaving the profession. Resources for supporting student engagement and following SVE’s in the clinical learning space will be reviewed.
