Dr. Spain will present “Stop the Bleed and Zero Preventable Deaths” on March 22, 2018, at 4:30 p.m. at the Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel and Spa. It is held in conjunction with the 9th annual Gulf Coast Acute Care Surgery Symposium.
Dr. Spain earned his medical degree from Wayne State University in Detroit. He completed his residency training at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and a fellowship at the University of Louisville Hospital.
His clinical areas of specialty are emergency and elective general surgery, trauma and critical care. His research focus is assessment of clinical care, systems of care and introduction of new technology. He currently serves as the editor of the new textbook, Scientific American’s Critical Care of the Surgical Patient. He is board-certified in general surgery and surgical critical care.
The lecture is presented annually in memory of William A. L. Mitchell, who passed away in 2005 from severe traumatic injuries sustained in a car crash. In appreciation for the care he received at the USA Trauma Center, his family established the endowed lecture series to memorialize their son and brother and to improve trauma patient care in our region through education.
The USA Trauma Center is this region’s only Level I Trauma Center, serving as a community resource for citizens throughout the central Gulf Coast region. The center provides the highest level of care for critically ill and injured patients.
