Trauma Education

Improving Care, Saving Lives

Trauma Education is a priority at the ACS. Our courses focus on safety for the immediate management of injured patients. We teach how to assess a patient’s condition and arrange interhospital transfers. We have an introductory course for medical students. Plus we cover trauma in rural facilities, disaster management, endovascular skills, and more.

Advanced Trauma and Life Support 11th Edition Workshop

A June gathering of national and international subject matter experts marked the beginning of work on the 11th and newest edition of Advanced Trauma and Life Support. Held at the ACS headquarters in Chicago, the two-day workshop was an opportunity to discuss new and existing content areas, identify the challenges and related opportunities of producing this new edition and how to best design, produce and share this information with students from around the world, all through the important lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The workshop was led by Drs. John Sutyak, Chair, ATLS Committee; Dany Westerband, Chair, ATLS International; Kimberly Joseph, Committee on Trauma Education Pillar Chair; and Sharon Henry, Former Chair, ATLS International.
