Fractures, Sprains, Strains & Dislocations

This session on fractures, dislocations, sprains, and strains with Dr. Ayesha Tabassom will provide a practical, field-ready approach to diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal injuries in wilderness and austere environments. As a dual board-certified Emergency and Family Medicine physician with fellowship training in wilderness medicine, Dr. Tabassom brings a wealth of experience from expedition care and high-risk sporting events around the world. Participants will learn how to differentiate between common orthopedic injuries, perform focused assessments without advanced imaging, and implement effective stabilization and pain management strategies in resource-limited settings. The lecture will also highlight improvised splinting techniques, return-to-activity considerations, and decision-making around evacuation. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and medical providers alike, this talk equips learners with the skills and confidence to manage musculoskeletal injuries in dynamic and remote environments.
