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)

complete the prerequisite on-line work from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on
the following dates
- March 26, 2012
- November 12, 2012
Fee(s)
