Mission Statement

    The purpose of the Human Biomechanics of Trauma
    Institute is to do original research, analyze existing
    research, and educate doctors, biomechanical engineers,
    accident reconstructionists, and attorneys.  
Modules available for specific Mechanisms of Injury
Accreditation for passing the examination for each module
Associate Status for those sitting for our 20 Module Examination
Fellow Status for those sitting for our 50 Module Examination
    We Promote Accuracy in the Analysis of
    Human Traumatic Injuries

    Accident Reconstructionists and Biomechanical Engineers are
    trained to evaluate the forces involved in motor vehicle crashes.  
    Doctors are trained to diagnose and treat the injuries.  HBTI
    blends the two disciplines to explain how injuries happen,
    what injuries occurred, and why this particular patient  was (or
    was not) injured using the facts available from both the injured
    human, the force vectors, and using only established and
    reliable science.   

    HBTI Students, Associates, and Fellows                     

    A student of the Institute may successfully complete a single
    module on a specific subject or mechanism of injury.  Those
    students will be equipped to understand thoroughly and explain
    that mechanism of injury. Only students who have passed the
    examination may state that they have "passed:" that module.  
    Students who take the module but never take or pass the
    examination may state they have "completed" the module.

    Students may complete as many or few modules as needed
    for the work they are involved in, thus making HBTI flexible,
    efficient, and effective.
