The 2026 San Diego Day of Trauma

The 2026 San Diego Day of Trauma is designed to provide an in-depth examination of the expanding role of artificial intelligence in trauma care and its implications for clinical decision-making, operative practice, multidisciplinary coordination, and patient outcomes. As AI applications continue to expand across health care, trauma professionals are increasingly challenged to determine where these tools can enhance care and where the knowledge, judgment, adaptability, technical expertise, and emotional intelligence of clinicians remain essential. In the setting of acute injury, high-risk intervention, and complex systems-based care, the integration of AI requires thoughtful assessment of its benefits, limitations, and implications for patient-centered practice. By participating in this activity, learners will be better prepared to evaluate emerging technologies, identify practical opportunities for implementation, and preserve the human dimensions of trauma care that are essential to quality, safety, and outcomes.

1. Review current and emerging applications of AI in trauma care.
2. Assess the strengths and limitations of AI across key trauma specialties and clinical decision-making.
3. Recognize where human judgment, communication, and multidisciplinary collaboration remain essential.
4. Discuss ethical, patient-centered, and practical considerations related to AI implementation.
5. Identify strategies for responsibly integrating AI into trauma care while preserving human-centered outcomes.

Mitigation of Relevant Financial Relationships

Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships and Content Validity

It is policy at Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) for course directors, planners, moderators, faculty, and all others in a position to control content of an educational activity disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies that they may have had within the past 24 months. This policy is in accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education. An ineligible company is any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. If an individual refuses to disclose financial relationships, they will be disqualified from being a part of the planning and implementation of the activity. Owners and/or employees of an ineligible company with business lines or products relating to the content of the activity will not be permitted to participate in the planning or execution of any accredited program.

The intent of this policy is to ensure that Scripps Health CME/CE certified activities promote quality and safety, are effective in improving medical practice, consist of valid, evidence-based content, and are independent of control from ineligible companies and free of commercial bias. Peer review of all content was conducted for all faculty presentations whose disclosure information was found to contain any financial relationships. This process consisted of reviewing the content, determining which financial relationships were relevant, and applying appropriate mitigation strategies. All listed relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies for individuals in control of content have been mitigated prior to the commencement of the activity.

The staff in Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education have disclosed that they have no financial relationships with any ineligible companies. Any peer reviewer who is determined to have a relevant financial relationship must recuse themselves from the peer review process.
