Master cutting-edge trauma management strategies in this intensive, two-day course designed for emergency clinicians, featuring expert-led instruction on high-risk injuries, special populations, and the latest protocols to improve outcomes in any care setting.
Overview
Advanced Trauma Management for the emergency clinician is a 2-day course that provides updates, best practices, and new pathways & protocols regarding the acute care of major trauma patients, from Emergency Department arrival through hospital admission/discharge. The course will focus on advanced, state of-the-art clinical knowledge and skills, with an emphasis on teamwork, non-technical skills, and best practices in ED management.
