Description

Course Overview:
Challenge your trauma skills with a unique cadaveric trauma competition in Charlotte, NC. Residents will work in teams of 4 to identify fractures, develop a preoperative plan and definitively fix their “patient’s” injuries. After the lab, each team will present their work to the group and our faculty panel of trauma leaders to discuss what went well and learn what could have been done differently. Which team is going to win the top spot?

Who Should Attend:
PGY5 residents, from the United States, who have matched to a trauma fellowship. Pending availability, PGY4s applying to trauma fellowships will be considered.

Dates:
This is a two-day course taking place on Friday, December 5th– Saturday, December 6th, 2025.
