44th Annual North American Burn Society Conference
Elevation Hotel and Spa, Crested Butte, CO
North American Burn Society
Meeting Format
NABS is a unique conference where all attendees (industry and healthcare) attend all aspects of the meeting together to promote integrated learning and provide opportunity for networking. Typically, the morning sessions consist of CME presentations, and the afternoon sessions may include a mix of CME presentations and non-CME industry presentations.
- For non-CME presentations, industry representatives are requested to avoid “sales” presentations and instead focus on new technical and/or clinical findings.
- The time between the morning and afternoon presentations is unscheduled to allow for networking.
- There are no vendor booths at NABS, industry attendees are welcome to attend all presentations and activities.

Justin D. Klein, M.D.
Crested Butte
Justin D. Klein, M.D.
Burn Unit Medical Director
Pediatric General and Thoracic Surgeon
Assistant Program Director, Pediatric Surgery Fellowship
Children’s Hospital of Michigan
Dr. Klein completed his training at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan in 2014 and has been at CHM since that time.
Justin has been the director of the burn unit since 2017 and continues a practice of pediatric surgery as well.
After his first NABS meeting, the only thought was ‘Why haven’t I been here sooner.’ His wife Tonya, and daughter Helena have accompanied him to every subsequent meeting.
The meeting is a fabulous time with the NABS family. It is a great mix of industry and burn providers where many shared ideas, many on a chairlift, have led to projects advancing burn care.
"The relationships I have made here are stronger than any of the other meetings I have attended.
Can’t wait to see you all in Crested Butte."
