ForwardMcSwain Trauma Education Conference
The McSwain Trauma Education Project (MTEP) was established to provide quality continuing education that meets the high standard Dr. McSwain expected. As communities identify continuing educational needs in their area, MTEP is here to fully fund a one-day local conference. “For the cost of a tank of gas…half to get to the conference and half to get home”, front-line EMTs and trauma care providers will receive comprehensive continuing education from national speakers who are experts in their field focusing on basic, cutting edge guidelines and technology for the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of the trauma patient with the ultimate goal of improving outcomes.
Not only does MTEP fund these conferences but, provides resources and coordination to ensure success. Our local conferences are tailored to the individual educational needs of each community with speakers able to address each level of the trauma patient care from basic EMT to trauma surgeon.
