2011 Course Participant

Dear Colleague,

This intensive 26.5-hour Home Study Course is dedicated to presenting nationally-renowned Master Surgeons imparting the art, techniques, and science of trauma surgery.

Held in honor of the great surgical traditions, these Master Surgeons will present image-rich lectures and lead interactive sessions dealing exclusively with the surgical management of the most complex and difficult injuries and their complications.

Most trauma surgery and surgical critical care symposia dedicate little time to (or fail to cover in-depth) the surgical and technical management of complex injuries. But, the 2012 Masters of Trauma Surgery Intensive, presentations by these Master Surgeons focus exclusively on the finer technical points that lead to successful outcomes.

Thus, this Home Study Course differentiates itself from others in the following three ways:

  1. Focus is on detailed “real-world” descriptions of surgical techniques, to permit their implementation in your clinical practice. This fulfils our promise of providing you with practical, actionable guidance.

  2. Laser-focus on trauma surgery only, thus no dilution by discussion of other topics.

  3. Lectures concentrate on the most complex and difficult injuries.

Learning Objectives:

To cover in-depth the technical aspects and finer surgical points of trauma surgery, in order to train and refine surgeons and their surgical techniques.

Intended Audience:

This intensive is designed for general, trauma, cardiac, thoracic, vascular, and military surgeons, as well as trauma surgery, cardiothoracic, and vascular fellows, and general surgery residents, wishing to improve their knowledge of surgical techniques.

CME Credit Included:

Earn up to 26.5 AMA / PRA Category 1 CME hours by participating. Ask if your employer or practice will cover the costs of this CME activity.

Online & Mobile Access:

The 2012 Masters of Trauma Surgery Intensive Home Study includes online and mobile access. Every lecture and panel discussion is accessible as streaming webinar on your computer, which you can review in any order that you want, as many times as you want after the course. You can also watch any lecture or discussion on your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Android mobile device. You are also shipped a thick, detailed course syllabus to help you follow along.

So, choose to take advantage of this stellar faculty of Master Surgeons, as they impart their hard-won and battle-tested experience. Order the Masters of Trauma Surgery Intensive Home Study, and start reviewing this actionable, detailed guidance tonight.
