Advanced Trauma Life Support

ATLS Student Course

The ATLS student course teaches established standards of trauma care and practical, lifesaving skills. This course is designed for the physician who does not regularly treat victims of major trauma and does not have immediate access to sophisticated emergency care facilities. Physicians treating trauma patients in emergency or surgical departments will also benefit from ATLS.

ATLS Student Refresher Course

This course is designed for physicians who completed an ATLS course within the past four years and wish to reverify their ATLS. A copy of current ATLS provider card must be provided at the time of application.

ATLS Instructor Course

This 1 1/2 day ATLS instructor course is designed for outstanding physician graduates of the ATLS student course. This instructor course allows the physician, who has been identified as having instructor potential, to acquire and demonstrate the skills necessary to become a competent instructor in the ATLS program.
