Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) Hybrid Course (Jul 27 - 28, 2024)

Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) Hybrid Course is organized by USF Health’s Office of Continuing Professional Development (OCPD) and will be held from Jul 27 - 28, 2024 at USF Health, CAMLS, Tampa, Florida, United States of America.

Course Description:
Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), is a continuing medical education program designed to teach a standardized, concise approach to the care of the trauma patient in the "golden hour", the period of time following traumatic injury during which there is the highest likelihood of death.

mATLS, the newest addition to the ATLS program, is comprised of 13 online modules designed to replace the interactive discussion component of the traditional ATLS course so that learners may complete it at their own pace. After completion of these modules, learners will proceed to their registered course sites to complete the hands-on skills portion of the course following a prescribed 1.5-day skills practicum schedule.

Learning Objectives 
• As a result of participating in this activity, the physician, ARNP or PA will be able to:
•  Demonstrate the concepts and principles of the primary and secondary patient assessment
•  Establish management priorities in a trauma situation
• Initiate primary and secondary management necessary within the golden hour for the emergency management of acute-life threatening conditions
• In a given simulated clinical and surgical skills practicum, demonstrate the skills, which are often required in the initial assessment and treatment of patient with multiple injuries.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
