This year’s conference will explore traditional practices versus current evidence based practices that are beneficial to the trauma patient.  You will interact with the presenters as they challenge your knowledge using the Audience Response System throughout the two days. 


We are excited to present Dr. Kenji Inaba, MS, MD, FRCSC, FACS, from Los Angeles County + USC Medical Center, University of Southern California speaking about non-invasive surgical intervention on complex liver injuries and management of penetrating thoracic injuries.  It is our hope that you will find the conference intellectually challenging and professionally rewarding.
