Narrative:
While climbing out at approximately 19;000 ft. MSL we experienced clear air turbulence. After ensuring positive aircraft control and relaying the turbulence report and PIREP to ATC the captain received an interphone call from the flight attendant (flight attendant)'s. I was flying with the autopilot engaged and monitoring the number one (ATC) radio so I did not directly hear the conversation(s) between the flight attendant's and the captain. As the captain relayed the information to me directly it appeared we may have a possible flight attendant injury from the aft galley area. As the flight progressed the captain continued to communicate with the flight attendants frequently to assess the situation and it appeared having medical personnel meet the aircraft would be prudent given the information the captain was receiving via interphone from the flight attendants. When we arrived at [our destination] the medical personnel we requested were present in the boarding area. Passengers were deplaned normally from my perspective although I remained in the cockpit until deplaning was complete as there was a lot of activity in the jet bridge.

Title: A319 First Officer reported clear air turbulence that resulted in a flight attendant injury.
Narrative: While climbing out at approximately 19;000 ft. MSL we experienced clear air turbulence. After ensuring positive aircraft control and relaying the turbulence report and PIREP to ATC the Captain received an interphone call from the Flight Attendant (FA)'s. I was flying with the autopilot engaged and monitoring the number one (ATC) radio so I did not directly hear the conversation(s) between the FA's and the Captain. As the Captain relayed the information to me directly it appeared we may have a possible flight attendant injury from the aft galley area. As the flight progressed the Captain continued to communicate with the flight attendants frequently to assess the situation and it appeared having medical personnel meet the aircraft would be prudent given the information the Captain was receiving via interphone from the flight attendants. When we arrived at [our destination] the medical personnel we requested were present in the boarding area. Passengers were deplaned normally from my perspective although I remained in the cockpit until deplaning was complete as there was a lot of activity in the jet bridge.
