Dr. Norman McSwain’s life’s work was improving the treatment and outcomes of the trauma victim and ensuring that all medical professionals who provide the care received quality continuing education. He was dedicated to this throughout his life .
“One of my long-time missions is to provide continuing education to pre-hospital providers. I want to develop a new and ‘forever’ system for such education for our EMTs. Each year excellent educators and speakers host emergency medical technician (EMT) [continuing education] courses throughout the United States and the world. Each of these courses cost the EMT attendees around $1,500 or more for the course fees, transportation, accommodations, and other travel expenses. Unfortunately, many EMTs do not attend these continuing education courses because they cannot afford the expenses.”
With these words, the McSwain Trauma Education Project was born.
“Local attendees can drive from their homes, listen to world-renowned speakers, have the ability to drive home after the [sponsored] symposium, and they will only be charged a small registration fee. Each day-long event will utilize [project] funds to support two, three or even four world-class Trauma/ EMS speakers to provide educational conference along with local speakers focusing on pre-hospital education.”
