STNโ€™s President, Kristen Chreiman, engaged in meaningful conversations and collaborations at the ACS-COT meeting, held in conjunction with the ACS Clinical Congress in Washington, D.C.

โ€œIt was a privilege to represent the Society of Trauma Nurses at the ACS Committee on Trauma meeting in Washington, DC. I left energized by the work underway to strengthen readiness and build a more integrated national trauma system capable of responding to disasters and large-scale combat operations (LSCO).

Important conversations also continue around advancing policy and sustainable funding for disaster preparedness and addressing emerging injury-prevention challenges, including micromobility injuries.

A highlight was hearing Dr. Don Jenkins deliver the Churchill Lecture for the Excelsior Surgical Societyโ€”a powerful reminder of the value of military-civilian collaboration in advancing trauma care.

Proud to have STN at the table as we help shape what comes next.โ€

Last chance to register for the STN Webinar: A New Lens on Trauma Mortality: Post-Mortem CT Implementation, Outcomes, and Expert Panel Discussion!

https://virtualconference.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YrBDOZFTRMaZcwTlkoHk9w #/registration

Join a multidisciplinary panel of trauma, radiology, registry, and medical examiner experts as they share practical lessons from implementing a post-mortem CT (PMCT) program. Learn how PMCT is being used to identify injuries, enhance mortality review, improve injury severity scoring, support trauma performance improvement, and strengthen system-wide learning. Panelists will discuss implementation strategies, legal and financial considerations, registry implications, collaboration with medical examiner offices, and real-world insights that demonstrate the value of PMCT in trauma care.

Whether you are exploring PMCT for the first time or looking to expand an existing program, you'll leave with practical tools, implementation strategies, and lessons learned from an organization already leading this work.
