Available until January 29, 2026 - 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
