The 2025 World Trauma Symposium will be held on Tuesday, October 21 – both in Indianapolis, Indiana, in conjunction with EMS World Expo, and as a live-streamed event. This year's theme is Pursuing Excellence in Prehospital Trauma Care.

The World Trauma Symposium features insights from top global experts and provides prehospital trauma education you can’t get anywhere else. The Symposium will be moderated by Col. (Ret) Warren Dorlac, MD, FACS, USAF, PHTLS Medical Director, and Capt. Margaret Morgan, MD, FACS, PHTLS Associate Medical Director.

Designed by NAEMT's Prehospital Trauma Committee, the symposium incorporates expert presentations, panel discussions, debates, time for participant questions, the latest trauma technology, and opportunities to network with practitioners and physicians from around the world.

The in-person event includes a continental breakfast, lunch, and exhibits. The symposium provides up to 8 hours of ACCME or CAPCE-approved CE credits.
