The landscape of trauma surgery is changing, in part due to non-operative management of solid organ injuries, and the use of endovascular and interventional techniques. Furthermore, training models are shifting to include the care of critically ill and Emergency General Surgery (EGS) patients. With the field rapidly evolving, we will review the tools and skills required to keep pace with current advancements.

Desired Outcomes:

• Review the expanding use of minimally invasive techniques in trauma (ultrasound, interventional radiology, REBOA).
• Breakdown the clinical and healthcare cost burden of trauma and EGS.
• Determine the future role of the trauma surgeon as an Acute Care Surgeon (EGS and trauma and critical care).

Lunch is provided.
