Description
Assessment
and Treatment of
Trauma (ATT) is a new international continuing education
course
from the American Academy
of Orthopaedic
Surgeons (AAOS) that represents the state-of-the-art in
prehospital
trauma assessment and management. Based on the most current
evidence-based medical information and best practices, this concise and
highly interactive continuing education course covers the critical
knowledge and skills necessary to rapidly evaluate, stabilize, and
transport the trauma patient.
The program is offered in two stages: on-line and
in-person. Internet-based coursework must be completed prior
to
the classroom component. The classroom portion of the course
is
not a rehash of the online presentations. Participants
actively
participate in scenario-based, small-group discussions and witness
live-action videos to encourage critical thinking about treating
traumatically injured patients.
Prerequisites
This course is intended for EMS professionals
who care for
trauma victims in the prehospital environment.
Date(s)
& Time(s)
The one-day classroom component is conducted for groups by request.
Fee(s)
$180.00 includes the text and on-line preparatory activity.
