About the Symposium
Patrick Gill Memorial Trauma Symposium
The Patrick Gill Trauma Institute presents: The Patrick Gill Memorial Trauma Symposium, a not-for-profit educational consortium that provides expert educational programs and training in the fields of austere and extreme medicine. The symposium was founded in 2016 by educator and nurse practitioner Stephen Wood. Steve named the symposium in memory of Patrick Gill, a Winchester High School student who was tragically killed in a car crash in 2014 at the age of 17. Steve, along with Patrick’s parents Pat and Susan Gill, continue to offer this conference annually.
Top speakers in the field join participants each year to discuss key topics in the management of trauma. The course symposium has educational programs for EMS, police, as well as nursing, advanced practice providers and physicians. Now in our ninth year, Steve Wood returned as our event facilitator on November 5, 2024 with an exciting group of speakers on new and interesting topics. OEMS approved Continuing Education and Nursing CEU credit is given for attendance. This year, we hosted 400 attendees and thanks to our generous sponsors we continue to offer the symposium free of charge.
