The 2023 San Diego Day of Trauma - CME Conference - San Diego, California Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, San Diego

Despite the high degree of organization, practice guidelines and well-developed protocols followed by trauma and acute care surgery professionals, care of critically ill and injured patients remains prone to error. Analyzing major errors and learning how to prevent them from occurring again in the future is an essential component of improving the safety of trauma and acute care surgery. Thus, the goal of developing early error recognition and rescue measures to prevent bad outcomes continues to be a top priority for trauma centers.

The 2023 San Diego Day of Trauma will focus on errors and lessons learned by our colleagues in the field. Nationally renowned speakers will present crucial errors they encountered, as well as interventions including operative techniques, institutional practices and approaches not always discussed in textbooks or literature, that were essential to accomplish rescue and prevention of bad outcomes. Speakers will include specialists in the fields of pre-hospital care, trauma surgery and critical care. Lectures, real-life case presentations and interactive sessions will engage attendees to promote improved patient outcomes.
