Trauma Care Conference

Friday, May 19th - Saturday, May 20th, 2023

The trauma care conference brings together trauma care providers from across the Northern California region to review the latest advances in trauma care and integrate evidence based practice. For those new to trauma, our course will provide a comprehensive overview of key topics critical to your practice. If you are already an experienced trauma provider, join us to learn more about the latest treatments and network with trauma providers from across the region. If you are looking to sharpen your technical skills, we will offer a skill segregated hands on wound care management course aimed at improving initial management and complex wound closure techniques for advanced practice and resident providers.
