Message from the Chair

---

To All Previous and Future Conference Attendees, 

On behalf of the 2021 Southwest Regional Trauma Conference Planning Committee, we would first like to thank you for your continued support of our annual conference. For the past year we have stayed in close communication with local and national public health experts to stay informed on guidelines and recommendations regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. 

After much discussion, we have decided on a virtual platform for the 2021 conference both for the attendees personal safety and compliance with the CDC’s current guidelines.

Although we are very disappointed, at the same time, we are excited at the opportunity to deliver another spectacular conference full of practical and high-yield learning. 

This extra time will allow us to safely prepare for the 2022 SWRTC with the full intention to be held in-person at the JW Marriot Star Pass Resort & Spa.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
 

Thank you for all you do for our community.  Stay safe and healthy! 

Sincerely,

Andrew Tang, MD, FACS

Trauma Medical Director – Banner-University Medical Center

Associate Professor of Surgery
