    Introduction to the Master of Trauma Science Program at the University of Baltimore, with Shailvi Gupta,MD,MPH,FACS

    Summary generated by Riverside AI In this conversation, Cody Winniford, Jim Brady, and Mustafa Sidik sit down to interview Shailvi Gupta, a trauma and acute care surgeon, about the newly started Masters in Trauma Sciences program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. They discuss the program's structure, curriculum, and its focus on developing leaders in trauma care. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding trauma from a global perspective, the role of education in advancing trauma systems, and the impact of social determinants of health on trauma care. Gupta emphasizes the need for a diverse student body and the integration of clinical rotations for hands-on experience. This conversation explores the evolving landscape of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) education and practice, emphasizing the importance of data in advocacy, the need for tangible skills, and the role of mentorship. The speakers discuss advancements in EMS practices, the challenges faced by paramedics in career advancement, and the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration in trauma care. They also highlight funding opportunities for education and the necessity of leadership training in trauma systems, ultimately advocating for a shift in mindset towards a more holistic approach to trauma care. Shailvi Gupta, MD MPH FACS, is an Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Shock Trauma Center's Program in Trauma. Her secondary appointment is with the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health. Dr. Gupta is an acute care surgeon practicing trauma surgery, surgical critical care and emergency general surgery. She is double boarded in General Surgery and Surgical Critical Care. She is the Course Director for the Global Health elective at the School of Medicine, teaches the Global Public Health Emergencies course within the MPH Program, and is core faculty for the interdisciplinary Climate Change, Health and Society course. Dr. Gupta's global health endeavors focus on improving surgical capacity and trauma education in low resource settings. She has led country-wide research projects in Nepal helping to grow surgical capacity nationally. She worked with the Ministry of Health in Mozambique to help develop a country-wide ambulance system and country wide trauma registries. She is also helping to elevate trauma education in Europe with University of Milan and Niguarda Hospital in Milan, Italy, as she helped develop one of Europe's first Trauma Masters Programs. Dr. Gupta has been recognized by the American College of Surgeons as a "Future Trauma Leader" and is utilizing this opportunity to help develop protocols and educational materials to improve trauma care in low resource settings.

    Rethinking the Management of Spinal Cord Injuries w/ Michael Millin, MD, MPH & Benjamin Abo, DO, Paramedic

    Summary generated by Riverside AI. Mustafa Sidik and Dr. Jim Brady sit down with Dr. Michael Millin and Dr. Ben Abo to discuss their recent paper, Prehospital Trauma Compendium: Prehospital Management of Spinal Cord Injuries - A NAEMSP Comprehensive Review and Analysis of the Literature. During the episode, they discuss the importance of evidence-based practices in EMS, challenging traditional dogmas surrounding spinal motion restriction. They emphasize the need for a shift in protocols to prioritize patient comfort and perfusion over rigid immobilization techniques. The discussion highlights the ethical implications of current practices and the necessity for ongoing research to improve patient outcomes in emergency medicine.
