Battlefield Healthcare Summit: Va/DoD Continuum of Care 2011

  • 21-23 Mar 2011
  • Washington, DC, United States

Description

Military medicine recognizes that the care and well being of our warfighters does not stop when they return home. As such, the Battlefield Healthcare Summit will bring together speakers from DoD and VA to present on similar issues and provide their distinct perspectives with the end goal to provide a true continuum of care curriculum. In recognition that March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, we will dedicate several, in depth sessions towards TBI in your continuing medical education. CME credits are available at this event.

Areas of Focus Include:

  1. Behavioral health: Prevention and treatment of PTSD, substance abuse, and suicide in military medicine
  2. Traumatic Brain Injury: Prevention, diagnosis, and treatment from point of injury to rehabilitation in military medicine
  3. Wound Care and Infection Control: From point of injury to rehabilitation in military medicine
  4. Wounded Warrior Rehabilitation: Polytrauma military medicine continuum of care focus
  5. Challenges with Continuity of Care for Reserve Soldiers: The role of the National Guard focus in military medicine
