Emergency physicians provide life-saving resuscitation during the golden hour and far beyond. The Uniformed Services Chapter Division is proud to present Battlefield Boarding: Military Medicine's Approach to Prolonged Casualty Care. As the nature of international conflict evolves, military emergency physicians are tasked with caring for patients far after the initial resuscitation while awaiting delayed medevac. Guided by military doctrine, experience, and evidence-based guidelines, our faculty will help you be ready to apply your emergency medicine skills to care for patients from initial stabilization through prolonged resuscitation. The course will include skill stations on whole blood transfusion, burn care, and simulation-based cases.
