List of Trauma Organizations

[KMATTOX at aol.com]

I have returned from a highly successful scientific (trauma) meeting in  
London.   Dr. Karim Brohi was one of the organizers, particularly of  the Master 
Class in Trauma.   I discovered that the UK has several  named trauma 
organization as do many of the European  Countries.    Below is a partial list of some 
of the trauma  organizations.    I do believe it would be beneficial for all 
of  us to know the NAMES, Current President or Chairman, Website, E-mail, list  
server, and time of the next meeting of these organizations.   It  would also 
be interesting to know if they are principally Surgical,  Anesthesiology, 
Critical Care, Nursing, Physician, Fund Raising, Emergency  Medicine, EMS, 
governmental, or other focused.    I do not  believe that a current such list 
exists.     This list  server is THE PLACE to accumulate all of this information.   
I am  hereby suggesting to Karim Brohi that we permanently keep such listing 
on  Trauma-org.   I would request ALL members, including the HUNDREDS of  
lurkers to add the information requested above for any and ALL such  organizations, 
web sites relating to Trauma, Emergency Surgery, Emergency  Medicine, Trauma 
Anesthesiology, EMS, and Acute Care Surgery that they can  remember.   This 
should not be an exclusive, but an all inclusive  list.  
 
Here are a few suggestions with which to START,   Now each needs  details.   
I may have some of the names incorrect.   
 
London Trauma Society
European Trauma Society
Turkey Trauma and Emergency Surgery Society
German Trauma Association

Japanese Association for Emergency and Trauma
Greek Trauma Society
Italy Trauma Society

This is just a beginning.
