Conference Overview

The 26th Annual CT Trauma Conference
Now in its 27th year, the Connecticut Trauma Conference continues to provide high quality education in trauma, critical care, and injury prevention. This year's speakers come from local, regional and national centers and will share their expertise in trauma care across the continuum.
This year’s agenda includes our popular point-counterpoint sessions exploring resuscitation models, plating rib fractures, and who manages the adolescent patient better. Experts will share their knowledge across the age continuum – from pediatric patients to the older adult. We will have a series of speakers for both burn management and spinal cord injury management. Injury prevention is always part of the trauma care paradigm – and we have included it in ours. This year, we also have a trauma survivor who is sharing their story.
This conference, designed to educate caregivers, draws local and regional professionals from across the spectrum of trauma care - pre-hospital, nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians from all specialties, and many essential providers.
