Improving Trauma Care Worldwide

Niagara EMS Takes 2015 Trauma Competition Title

Seven teams competed in the annual ITLS Trauma Competition at the 2015 International Trauma Conference, using the ITLS assessment to triage and treat trauma patients in three creative and challenging simulated scenarios.

The conference was held November 10-13 in Las Vegas, Nevada

For the first time, the Competition was presented during the 2-day conference rather than as a pre-conference event, allowing conference participants to watch the scenarios and earn continuing education credit.

Teams represented Nevada, Niagara EMS, North East Ambulance Service UK, Toronto EMS, West Virginia, and two teams from Slovenia.

The team from Niagara EMS was again declared the winner of the 2015 Competition. Team members were captain Brock Browett, ACP, Emma Santon, PCP, Megan Daza, PCP, and Jonathan Dyck, ACP.

The team from Toronto EMS took second place. The team from North East Ambulance Service in the United Kingdom, first-time competitors, took third place.
