If you\u2019re a faithful LIBRE Facebook<\/a> follower you may have noticed we were quite busy last week. Members of our staff and Clinical Advisory Board attended the American Burn Association<\/a> (ABA) annual meeting in Las Vegas, May 3-May 6. The ABA is a national organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by burn injury. Its members support burn-related research, education, care, rehabilitation and prevention. We attended the conference last year to recruit participants for our study and also support our team members in presentations.<\/p>\n

This year, our focus was on presentations of the preliminary findings from LIBRE data collection. We had submitted 10 abstracts to the ABA and all were accepted as either a poster, presentation or plenary presentation. Please see below for the full list. It was a pleasure to attend the conference, and an honor to represent all the hard work that has gone into the LIBRE Project so far!<\/p>\n
