Point Counterpoint 2025 was a hit! From expert trauma talks to hands-on vendor demos, it was two packed days of learning and connection in Baltimore. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us! 🙌 Mark your calendars—2026 is happening May 14–15! 📸 Find photos on Instagram & Facebook!

Thank you to all the trainees who participated in the critical care cases today! You guys took a lot of heat today from our panelists AND our audience and took it in stride. Great job and what a finale!!!

And that's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who came to this year's conference. We hope you learned a lot, saw friends old and new and had some good laughs. Tell us how we can do better next year and save the date for May 14 & 15 2026 in Baltimore! #acspcp2024

Carrie Valdez and Babak Sarani debate the use of laparoscopy in trauma...sure it makes sense for some, but does it make sense for every patient? How do you decide? Are we underusing? Overusing? @PCounterpoint @Mdcotcom #acspcp2025

GW Proud! Two great resident case presentations at Point Counterpoint! #acspcp2025 @PCounterpoint @GWSurgery @GWSurgChair @dcarreramd @mateckimary

Does ECMO improve mortality in trauma? Not all trauma patients are alike = multidisciplinary teams that carefully consider the risks/benefits are key! Emily Esposito and Brandon Parker lead the debate at #acspcp2025

We couldn’t agree more !

Today’s Sharon Henry Lecture at #acspcp2025 @PCounterpoint conference. A honor to hear from Kathy Martin. Love the topic all about #mentoring and hearing about Kathy’s mission work to Ukraine.

Incredible debate between Matt Vasquez and Jill Streams on whether preop CT is helpful in the patient that needs a trauma laparotomy. When you think you know they need OR do you really know? What if they're unstable? What's the cutoff for unstable? #acspcp2025 #7minCT

At PCP, we love making our speakers debate against their areas of expertise 😉 Carrie Sims (CON) and Justin Richards (PRO) debate the merits of early pressors in sepsis management. Who starts pressors within the 1st 3 hours? #acspcp2025

Paula Ferrada and Sam Tisherman debate cooling in trauma arrest. The data don't support it empirically, but is there a specific population that may benefit? What do you do at your institution? Jump into the debate! #acspcp2025 #coolingsaveslives #butdoesit

Excited to see everyone for #acspcp2025 day 2!

I always love a good complex case conference session at #acspcp2025 @PCounterpoint

Such an important topic at #acspcp2025 @PCounterpoint “How to Maintain Longevity and Fulfillment in Your Career” Panelists: Leah M. Aakjar Jamie Coleman Adrian Park Grace F. Rozycki Moderator: Mayur Narayan #SurgMentoring #Wellness #Sponsorship

David Livingston sharing some truly personal stories about survivorship and the importance of caring for the trauma patient post discharge. Thank you for all you do for improving trauma care #acspcp2025 @PCounterpoint #packedhouse

Should you operate on the acute abdomen with Child C cirrhosis? Jamie Diaz and Steve Holsten debate. Consensus = if you do decide to operate, ascites management is key! #acspcp2025 @PCounterpoint
