Conference
Purpose & Description
Trauma is the third leading cause of death in the
United States and the leading cause of disability in young Americans.
Advancements have made an impact on this challenging problem,
but injury still remains the greatest silent epidemic of modern
society. Our goal is to provide the most current information on
trauma and its management to all health care professionals working
to help combat this major health problem. Three concurrent sessions
along with several general sessions are offered each day from
which to choose.
This conference, presented by Southern Arizona Trauma Network
(SATNET), has been organized under the leadership of the Division
of General Surgery and Trauma Services at The University of Arizona
Medical Center and the University of Arizona, College of Medicine.
