2021 Alan R. Dimick Lecture from the 2021 Southern Region Burn Conference

November 11, 2021 // Randy Glick
The Alan R. Dimick Lecture was established to honor Dr. Dimick’s legacy as a pioneering surgeon, burn specialist, and leader in emergency care. His compassion and dedication to burn care led to the creation of the Southern Region Burn Conference.
The 2021 distinguished guest was Ernest Grant, PhD, RN,  FAAN, President of the American Nurses Association who spoke on The Year of the Nurse.

A distinguished leader, Dr. Grant has more than 30 years of nursing experience and is an internationally recognized burn-care and fire-safety expert. He previously served as the burn outreach coordinator for the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center at University of North Carolina (UNC) Hospitals in Chapel Hill. In this role, Grant oversaw burn education for physicians, nurses, and other allied health care personnel and ran the center’s nationally acclaimed burn prevention program, which promotes safety and works to reduce burn-related injuries through public education and the legislative process. Grant also serves as adjunct faculty for the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Nursing, where he works with undergraduate and graduate nursing students in the classroom and clinical settings.
