Surgical Residency Program: https://www.mvhealthsystem.org/education/general-surgery-residency/
ATLS: Advanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS®) program can teach you a systematic, concise approach to the care of a trauma patient. The approach is systematic and concise as well as safe and reliable. First introduced in 1980, ATLS has now been taught to more than 1 million doctors in more than 80 countries around the world.
ATCN: The nurse participants audit the ATLS lectures. During the ATLS skill and testing stations, the nurses are separated from the physician group and directed through ATCN skill stations. ATCN Skill stations include:
- Initial Assessment and Management
- Airway and Ventilatory Management
- Pediatric Trauma
- Hemorrhagic Shock
- Musculoskeletal & Spinal Trauma
- Head Trauma
The Skill Stations are based on an interactive “hands-on, scenario-based approach” to adult education. The practical testing stations allow the ATCN students to demonstrate the application of ATLS and ATCN information on a moulaged patient. Participants receive both a ATCN manual and an ATLS manual.
