American Burn Association’s 49th Annual Meeting 2017
Last week was the American Burn Association’s 49th Annual Meeting in Boston, MA. The photo above was taken from Hynes Convention Center, the location for the majority of the conference. We enjoyed catching up with colleagues from burn communities across the United States, learning about the new research out there, and spreading the word about the LIBRE Project!
Emily presented a LIBRE Project Poster – Measuring the Social Impact of Burn Injuries: The LIBRE Profile. The poster described the development and evaluation of the LIBRE Profile-Short Forms (above).
Our friends over at Shriners Hospital for Children and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital also gave poster and oral presentations. Leda Espinoza presented “Fatigue Following Burn Injury: A Burn Model System National Database Study” which won a Best in Category award (above). Congrats Leda and the BHBIMS team! And of course, we ended the week by celebrating at the banquet. We look forward to attending the meeting again next year!
