OTA Posts Disaster-Readiness Page for Surgeons

The Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) just launched a page on its website devoted to disaster-preparedness resources for surgeons and first responders.

Titled “Get Prepared,” the page includes:

• A 93-slide PowerPoint presentation on orthopaedic blast injuries
• Courses from the National Disaster Life Support Foundation and the American College of Surgeons’ Committee on Trauma
• A bibliography with links to the JBJS Reviews article “Disaster Response Management Protocol for Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery” and the JBJS/JOSPT Special Report It Takes a Team—The 2013 Boston Marathon.
