Overview: Advanced Operations Management for Trauma Centers is a one-of-a-kind course developed by Dr. Jeff Young, designed for trauma medical directors, trauma program managers, and other trauma professionals seeking to elevate their operational leadership. Unlike traditional courses focused solely on trauma center verification criteria, this program dives deep into the real-world challenges faced in delivering optimal trauma care.
Participants will engage in in-depth discussions on performance improvement across the entire continuum of trauma care—from EMS coordination to discharge planning and rehabilitation. Drawing on Dr. Young’s 29 years of experience leading a trauma center and his extensive background as a site reviewer for the American College of Surgeons, this course offers practical insights and proven strategies from trauma centers nationwide.
The course is designed to be highly interactive, encouraging participants to share their own experiences and seek guidance on their most pressing operational challenges.
