ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Please join us for our first conference on Evidence-Based Care of Traumatic Spinal Cord Injuries. Spine trauma and spinal cord injury (SCI) are unexpected and life-altering events. This program will provide an update on the state of the art of trauma care for all areas of the spinal column, from the cranio-cervical junction to lumbar-pelvic region. This course will enhance the recognition of key injury variables and also provide updates on spinal cord injury management and rehabilitation and latest techniques in spine fracture treatment. This course will include lectures from a faculty of experts, including nationally recognized surgeons, Alex Vaccaro, MD, PhD from the Rothman Institute and James Harrop, MD, both with Thomas Jefferson University. This health care provider driven conference is designed to empower the learner to incorporate evidence-based practice while providing excellence in care for spine trauma and SCI patients.
