Conference Purpose &
Description
Trauma remains the third leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of disability in young Americans. Advancements in trauma systems, treatment protocols, technology and training have made an impact on this challenging problem but injury still remains the greatest silent epidemic of modern society. Our goal remains the same: 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 are offered throughout each day so participants have a variety to choose from.
This conference has been organized under the leadership of the Southern Arizona Trauma Network (SATNET) with special thanks to the Division of General Surgery and Trauma at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center and University Medical Center.
