CUTTING-EDGE INSIGHTS, HANDS-ON LEARNING AND NETWORKING FOR TRAUMA CARE PROFESSIONALS 

Welcome to the 2025 Southwest Regional Trauma Conference at Casino del Sol in Tucson, Arizona! This conference is designed for everyone working in trauma care — from trauma surgeons and emergency physicians to nurses, paramedics, EMS providers and respiratory therapists. It’s also a great fit for those in pre-hospital services, including first responders and flight crews. 

This year’s conference, held July 31 to August 1, 2025, features a robust program of expert speakers, hands-on workshops, and innovative discussions. Additionally, we’ll have a special Burn Pre-Course on July 30, 2025, offering focused education and practical skills for burn care in various clinical settings.

Program Highlights

We’re putting together a program packed with the topics that matter most in trauma care today, including:

• Trauma resuscitation and critical care updates
• Burn care essentials and advanced strategies
• Pediatric trauma — practical solutions for little patients
• EMS and pre-hospital care best practices
• Mass casualty and disaster preparedness

You’ll hear from respected national and regional experts, dive into real-world case studies and pick up skills you can use. We’re also offering continuing education credits for physicians, nurses and EMS professionals, so you can boost your credentials. Plus, you’ll have a chance to connect with your peers and build relationships that last well beyond the conference.
