Rural Care Committee

This Committee was approved by the EAST Board of Directors on February 2, 2022. First established as an Ad Hoc Task Force in April 2020 and elevated to a Committee in February 2022, the Committee has been established to foster connections between Level I and Level II trauma centers who serve rural trauma patients in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas, promote educational activities focused on rural trauma care, and increase multi-institutional research initiatives. The Committee will be responsible for disseminating educational resources focused on the rural Level III/IV trauma surgeon, and to promote further partnerships between these surgeons and the facilities to which they transfer patients.
