The Annual Warren Wetzel, MD Trauma/Emergency Medicine Symposium represents the only regional
conference dedicated solely to the management of trauma patients. As such, it has been able to
attract a nationally recognized faculty. New York City has 18 trauma centers, and the Symposium
provides an important forum for the sharing of science and ideas related to trauma.
2012 Program Goals
Physicians and nurses should be aware of the many complex management strategies available for the treatment of the injured in order to minimize complications and mortality. The educational goals of the Symposium are for the attendees to:
- Review the most up-to-date management of chest trauma
- Understand and recognize the special issues related to hypotension in the blunt trauma patient
- Gain awareness of the pearls and pitfalls in the management of orthopedic trauma
- Explain the status of the New York State trauma system and the process of trauma center verification
- Review and understand the current state-of-the-art management of penetrating trauma
- Understand the evolution of the trauma center in the United States
- Comprehend the multi-level federal response to disasters and its implications for trauma care
- Identify management specifically targeted to the geriatric trauma population
The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation is accredited by the Medical Society for the State of New York to sponsor continuing medical education for physicians. The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation designates (pending approval) this educational activity for (4.75) AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.
