The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is seeking AAP Fellow members with knowledge of trauma-informed care, from a variety of practice settings and communities, to serve as trauma-informed care subject matter experts (SMEs) (also known as “Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) Champions”). TIC Champions will support the education and training of pediatric health care providers and clinical teams in the provision of trauma-informed pediatric care.

Year 1 Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) Champions will build and refine their knowledge of trauma-informed care principles through participation in a small, virtual, bi-directional learning collaborative. Champions will then leverage their knowledge and skills by serving as faculty on 1-2 cohorts of a national 6-session TIC ECHO. In addition, Year 1 Champions will engage in 1 other educational offering of their choice, helping to build the capacity of pediatric teams nationwide to provide trauma-informed pediatric care. TIC Champions will be given other opportunities to leverage their subject matter expertise including (but not limited to) tool and resource development and/or refinement. Therefore, the time commitment may vary.
