2019 Swamp Rabbit Prehospital Medicine Conference

Greenville, SC US
May 30, 2019 to May 31, 2019

Overview

The field of pre-hospital emergency medicine is ever changing in a quickly changing social and healthcare environment. Terrorism and active-shooter incidents have become common place and rapidly evolving research in many areas of pre-hospital medicine is changing the way emergency care providers must think about and provide care. Many of the “accepted norms” and time-honored practices of pre-hospital care have been forced to change due to these changes. These changes have created gaps in knowledge of those involved in providing emergency care. The goal of the Swamp Rabbit Prehospital Medicine Conference is to bridge these gaps and provide knowledge to the variety of caregivers that are exposed to pre-hospital and emergency care.
