An Innovative Advance in Continuing Medical Education for Emergency Physicians and Trauma Surgeons
ABSTRACT
Objective: For the past two years, we have tried to devise, unsuccessfully, a manual for physician's assistants and residents. The manual was not completed because we did not have a comprehensive field triage plan for injured patients. Methods: A landmark publication written by members of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control of the CDC provided comprehensive and detailed information on field triage of injured patients. This work has ten continuing education questions allowing the reader to receive 2.5 CME credits. Results: The format for this work will provide an outline for future manuals in emergency departments and trauma centers. Conclusion: All emergency physicians and trauma surgeons should review this work to ensure that their community has an updated field triage plan for emergency and trauma patients.
