Available until January 29, 2027 - Online CME Course
Trauma and acute care is an evolving specialty in the field of surgery. Mayo Clinic’s Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Symposium Online CME Course takes the principals of trauma care (organized teams, evidence-based processes and procedures, and continuous quality improvement) and applies them to patients with other urgent, time-sensitive surgical conditions. Acute care surgery involves three central components-trauma, critical care and emergency surgery. This course is designed to ensure that advanced practitioners enhance their knowledge and skill sets in acute care surgery.
This online course is repurposed recording content from the 2022 Mayo Clinic Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Symposium course.
Target Audience
This course is designed for advanced practitioners including physician assistants and nurse practitioners. In addition, physicians, clinical nurse specialist, nurse educators and nursing staff in trauma, acute care surgery, emergency medicine, and hospital medicine may benefit from this course.
