Dr. Heather Millar’s work centers around the goal of improving the sexual and reproductive health of marginalized girls and young women, both locally and internationally. She is particularly interested in innovative approaches to prevention and care in Obstetrics and Gynaecology for this high-risk group, including inter-disciplinary collaboration and community partnership.
Dr. Millar is working to train others on how to be trauma informed care providers. Pap smears, pelvic exams, IUD insertions, surgeries, and birthing children are all complex moments for a patient. Ensuring the patient's background is recognized is step 1 but working to enhance the experience for those that feel uncomfortable during these times should be essential. We cover it all in this episode! We even cover tips on how you can have the best experience even if your doctor isn’t trauma informed.
