The Rocky Mountain Trauma & Emergency Medicine Conference is designed to emphasize the latest techniques in trauma care and emergency medicine, as well as the team approach to care of the injured patient.  For this reason, many of the classes are held in a large general session style setting, where all conference participants can learn together. The conference provides an excellent educational opportunity for those whose expertise and interest lie in the area of trauma and emergency medicine: physicians, nurses, prehospital personnel, firefighters, search and rescue personnel, respiratory therapists and others.

Please see the 2008 schedule as a sample of what sorts of topics may be presented in 2009.  We will be posting the 2009 schedule on this site as soon as it becomes available.
