ABOUT THE COURSES AND WHY YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN BOTH!

We are happy to announce the dates of TRAUMA, CRITICAL CARE & ACUTE CARE SURGERY 2013 (TCCACS) and MEDICAL DISASTER RESPONSE 2013.

MEDICAL DISASTER RESPONSE had its inaugural year in 2008 and opened to a sell out crowd and superb reviews from attendees. As with TCCACS, the course, which was limited to 350 attendees, had to close registrations two months out when all space was sold. We are pleased to be able to increase attendance capability in 2013 to 450 and to continue the 2011 added new dimension to the conference – YOU and an exhibit hall. This conference is attended by physicians, nurses, and administrators in the hospital/clinical setting, as well as city planners tasked with preparing for and respond to disasters and mass casualty situations. Vendors may wish to exhibit at one conference or the other, but many will find it beneicial to exhibit at both, so a discounted 'COMBO RATE" is offered.

TRAUMA, CRITICAL CARE & ACUTE CARE SURGERY (TCCACS) has developed into the largest trauma postgraduate course in the country. The conference has been oversubscribed for the past five years. Our maximum capacity is 1375, and in 2012, all50 states, the District of Columbia and 18 foreign countries were represented. Unfortunately, space limitations prevented us from accepting over 1300 additional registrants. Of the more than 1300 attendees, over 80% are physicians, with remaining 20% consisting of nurses, residents, physician extenders, health care administrators and other ancillary health care personnel, representing level 1,2,3 and 4 trauma centers and nondesignated hospitals. Our faculty are physicians in active practice who continue "in the trenches" day after day, night after night, dealing with the most comple surgical challenges.

Attendees come to "meet the masters," enhance their knowledge base, and keep abreast of advances in the field. This group is especially eager to see the latest innovations from you, the vendor, and learn how your products and services can add to their hospitals and practices.

The two and one-half day intense and fast-paced program is designed for trauma surgeons working in Level I-IV trauma centers and is attended by general surgeons, anesthesiologists, emergency medicine physicians, family practitioners, trauma coordinators, surgical residents, thoracic surgeons, trauma nurses, physician assistants, administrators, and EMS coordinators who find this fast paced, clinically orientated program of great assistance in the practical care of trauma patients.


The exhibitors at these conferences are key to the educational opportunities afforded course participants, and, as such, participants are encouraged to take full advantage of the ready availability of information and new technology that only you can provide. The number of exhibitors is limited to assure ample space for visiting exhibits and enjoying breaks and breakfasts in the Exhibit Halls. The fact that the majority of our TCCACS exhibitors return from year to year clearly indicates they consider the conference as valuable to them as we do their contributions, and we are confident that the same will hold true for exhibitors for MEDICAL DISASTER RESPONSE.

The 2013 meetings continue our tradition of outstanding speakers and timely topics. To reserve your exhibit space at one or both conferences, mail or fax the Exhibitor Application and Contract form NOW!

We are looking forward to a great meeting and a great time in Vegas in March, and hope you will plan now to join us.
