The Gulf Coast Trauma Symposium is an annual event designed to educate all providers in our region who care for critically injured patients. Our goal this year is to provide current evidence-based concepts and techniques of resuscitation, diagnostic evaluation, and therapeutic intervention from scientific and humanistic perspectives. Specific updates on Trauma, Emergency Surgery, EMS, and Critical Care Medicine will be of interest to EMS, nurses, physicians, residents, and others. We are excited to collaborate with the Alabama Gulf EMS System a Division of Alabama Department of Public Health and the Alabama Chapter – American College of Surgeons this year. The William A.L. Mitchell Endowed Lectureship is a memorial lecture presented annually to honor the life of Mr. Mitchell. The John Campbell Lecture is a memorial lecture presented annually to honor the life of John Campbell. Dr. Campbell was the founder and president of International Trauma Life Support and known for his groundbreaking work in developing prehospital trauma assessment and trauma care worldwide.
