On Saturday, March 26, the Shepherd Center hosted the third trauma center conference at Palmetto Health Richland Hospital in Columbia, South Carolina. As the previous two trauma center workshops, this event was titled “Translating Evidence to Prevent Secondary Complications after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)” with the overall purpose of the workshop to train area clinicians and researchers on the secondary conditions related to SCI and provide education to reduce secondary complications and increase longevity after SCI.
There were 28 attendees in Columbia which included physicians, nurses, occupational therapists and physical therapists and all attendees were eligible for CME credit. The anonymous feedback received on the workshop objective contents, relevance, and presentation techniques from the participants in Columbia was very complimentary and positive with encouragement to do additional workshops and educational events in the future.
Each half day workshop in the series of three total conferences statewide consisted of three presentations by Dr. David Apple, M.D., Dr. Deborah Backus, Ph.D., P.T., and Joycelyn Craig, RN, BSN, CRRN all from the Shepherd Center. Now that the conferences are concluded, the presenters are working on additional educational materials that can be utilized to continue dissemination of information around the area.
