Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) Refresher Course AM
March 25, 2023
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. This is a 5–6-hour one day refresher course for anyone looking to renew their certification. If you have never taken ATLS, you should take a hybrid course first.

Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma (ASSET)
April 17, 2023
The course provides an overview of key surgical exposures in five key anatomic areas: neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis, extremities, upper and lower. A one-day cadaver-based course follows this modular, body region approach. Each section begins with a short case-based overview, followed by a hands-on exposure performed by students under the guidance of faculty. The student to faculty ratio is low, allowing extensive faculty guidance and interaction with students. The student assesses his or her ability to perform each exposure independently and is evaluated on knowledge, and technical skills.
