TE:TNG, version 3.0 is coming soon! Our fast-paced 4 hour program will be available again live this year (but you have to come see me in St. Paul MN), or via LiveStream on Thursday, September 17.

Our guest speaker is Dr. Brian Lin, author of the Closing the Gap – lacerationrepair.com website, talking about “Advanced wound closure tips and tricks.”

We also have a number of other live presenters, delivering 20 minute fact-packed talks on trauma topics applicable to all trauma professionals. Topics include:

  • Top 10 Pearls of Palliative Care in Trauma
  • For Level III centers: How to keep more trauma patients at your hospital
  • De-escalation and takedown in the ED

Peppered among all the live presenters will be curbside consults, where we ask the specialists what you also wished you had asked. We’ll also show a variety of focused, 5 minute how-to videos on:

  • Using ultrasound to start peripheral IVs
  • Stabilizing prior to transfer
  • Small bore chest tubes
  • And more!

For more information, or to make arrangements to join us live or electronically, please visit our website at www.tetng.org

I’m looking forward to “seeing” you there!

TETNG Video Week: You Think You Know…

This week, I’m going to post a series of videos from our Trauma Education: The Next Generation (TETNG) conference from last September. Regions Hospital, in conjunction with the Healthpartners Institute for Medical Education, created this conference to be new, different, and very TED-like. There were 20-minute live presentations, interspersed with fun 5-minute how-to videos. We dropped the staid and stodgy PowerPoint deck with tons of bullet points, moving to showing a few select graphic images that would drive home the point. No note taking!

I am the presenter for today’s video. It’s a little less than 20 minutes long, and deals with a problem that we all face: thinking we understand stuff that we really don’t. It’s another version of “you don’t know what you don’t know.” I talk about why this phenomenon occurs, and what you can do to avoid it.
