This educational activity will focus on the diagnosis, triage, and treatment of burn injuries for non-burn providers. After completion, participants will have a good understanding of burn depth and how to diagnose depth based on exam. They will also understand how to diagnose burn size with simple and reliable means. Participants will appreciate criteria for transfer to burn centers and understand how to start resuscitation if indicated. Finally, participants will learn of topical treatments (new and old) for burn injuries and appreciate how to care for burn patients when indicated.

Desired Outcomes:

• Accurately diagnose burn depth.
• Accurately diagnose burn size.
• Diagnose and treat inhalation injury.
• Explain triage of burned patients to burn centers.
• Explain resuscitation of severely burned patients.
• Review topical treatments for burn injuries.
