The 2008 annual Warren Wetzel, M.D. Trauma / Emergency Medicine was a great success. We would like to thank everyone who attended for such a wonderful turn out.
The annual Warren Wetzel, M.D. Trauma / Emergency Medicine 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 20 trauma centers, and the symposium provides an important forum for the sharing of science and ideas related to trauma.
Program Goals
Physicians and nurses should be aware of the many complex management strategies available for the treatment of trauma victims in order to minimize complications and mortality. The educational goals of the symposium are for the attendees to:
- Gain awareness about the lessons learned in the Iraq War regarding emergency and trauma care
- Explore and become familiar with the new techniques in the management of pelvic trauma
- Learn about the latest advances in the use of the multi-detector CT scan for the trauma patient
- Understand how damage control is applied to the pediatric trauma patient
- Become familiar with the new innovations and changes in educating the healthcare practitioner
- Recognize and understand the dynamics of intimate partner violence
- Review new advances in the field of burn care management
- Gain awareness of the current and future management of severe traumatic brain injured patients
