<h2>Course Description</h2>Injured patients present a wide range of complex problems. The ATLS Student Course presents a concise approach to assessing and managing multiple injured patients, providing information and techniques that are comprehensive and easily adapted to meet the needs of physicans and advanced care providers, regardless of the care setting.The American College of Surgeons (ACS) and its Committee on Trauma (COT) developed the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program to provide participants with a safe, reliable method for immediate management of the injured patient and the basic knowledge necessary to:<ol><li>Assess the patient’s condition rapidly and accurately.</li><li>Resuscitate and stabilize the patient according to priority.</li><li>Determine if the patient’s needs exceed a facility’s capacity.</li><li>Arrange appropriately for the patient’s inter-hospital transfer (who, what, when, and how).</li><li>Assure that optimum care is provided and that the level of care does not deteriorate at any point during the evaluation, resuscitation, or transfer process.</li></ol>For providers who infrequently treat trauma, the ATLS course provides an easy to remember method for evaluating and treating the victim of a traumatic event. For providers who treat traumatic injuries on a frequent basis, the ATLS course provides a scaffold for evaluation, treatment, education, and quality assurance. In short, ATLS is a measurable, reproducible, and comprehensive system of trauma care.Program ScheduleThe ATLS refresher course will begin at 10:30 am.
