Pediatric Trauma Society (PTS)

The mission of the PTS is Improving Pediatric Trauma Outcomes. Their vision is to be a global leader in the field of pediatric trauma through optimal care guidelines, education, research, and advocacy. The Pediatric Trauma Society will be an inclusive organization open to all those dedicated to the care of injured children.

The vision for a pediatric trauma specialty professional organization became a reality when leaders in pediatric trauma care came together in January 2011 in Naples, Florida. At the inaugural Pediatric Trauma Society (PTS) meeting, leaders discussed a desire to develop an organization that would include all healthcare professionals interested in improving pediatric trauma patient outcomes. An interim PTS Steering Committee was named to lay the foundation of the PTS and work toward the development of a mission, vision, and organizational bylaws.
