BOTS Morning Sessions!

Three sessions. One mission: save lives in the chaos.
Morning lectures at Battle of the Smokies set the tone for tactical trauma care:

🧠 Rick Slaven broke down the prehospital contributors to trauma-induced physiologic collapse—reminding us that recognition delays are deadly.

👶 Elliot Mitzelfeld covered pediatric trauma, where “small bodies, big forces” demand precision, speed, and specialized thinking.

🔥 Melinda Wilson tackled EMS performance in high-risk, low-occurrence trauma, where preparation meets the moments we rarely see—but can’t afford to miss.

High-yield content. No fluff. These sessions sharpened the edge before teams hit the field.
