Ellen Taliaferro
A leading physician authority on the health issues of violence and abuse who views the world through a lens of compassion and humor.
Ellen H. Taliaferro, MD, FACEP, (Dr T) is the Medical Director of the San Mateo Medical Center Keller Center for Family Violence Intervention in San Mateo, CA. She is a medical expert on violence prevention and intervention in healthcare.
Using her background in emergency medicine, stress management, and writing, she has created a program called Healing the Wound Within with a personal Writing Practice Prescription. This program is ideal for people who want to use a personal writing practice to heal and help, get reconnected with who they are, and put meaning and purpose into their life.
Dr T has trained thousands of physicians, healthcare workers, law enforcement professionals, and domestic violence advocates on the healthcare effects of domestic violence. She is the author of two books: WellWritingTM for Health After Trauma and Abuse and Respond to Intimate Partner Violence: 10 Action Steps You Can Take to Help Your Patients and Your Practice. In addition, she co-authored the recently published Physician's Guide to Intimate Partner Violence.
Dr T grew up in Will Rogers country and loves country humor. She sees herself as a true Okie: "Sooner born, Sooner bred, and CA dead."
Of note, she finished her clinical career at UTSW medical school and Parkland Hospital. While there, she was named by the Dallas Morning News as one of the 100 most influential Texas women - an amazing feat for an Okie.
