Visit to Shock Trauma Centre, Baltimore, USA

I was privileged in being able to visit the legendary Shock Trauma Centre (STC) for a week. STC is the designated Level-1 Trauma Centre for the state of Maryland and is part of the University of Maryland Medical Centre. It is a true centre of excellence. I was fortunate in being able to meet the Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeons and review their patient pathways as well as the techniques they use to fix complex fractures. The aim of such visits is to consolidate knowledge and skills in order to continuously improve.
