Dear Matt:
Here in Uruguay we have developed a course of trauma care based in a 
modification of U of Santander (Spain) one?s. It was bought in the 
90ies and has been given free for all country surgical residents of the 
last 6 generations.
Now we are developing one in surgical manouvers in trauma patient.
