Course Description:
The PHTLS Provider course is designed to be an intensive 16-hour course for emergency medical responders, EMTs, Paramedics, nurses, physician assistants and physicians. This course is offered at Basic, Advanced or Combined levels, and Military Provider courses are also available. PHTLS training is a continuing education program authored and administered by the PHTLS division of the National Association of EMTs (NAEMT) in conjunction with the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons.
Comprehensive, evidenced-based coverage incorporates the latest research across all aspects of prehospital trauma in one convenient resource. The course utilizes the internationally recognized PHTLS textbook and covers the following topics:
- Physiology of life and death
- Scene assessment
- Patient assessment
- Airway
- Breathing, ventilation and oxygenation
- Circulation, hemorrhage and shock
- Patients with disabilities
- Patient simulations
Course Objectives:
Participants will understand the physiology and kinematics of trauma, and improve their rapid assessment, diagnostic and intervention skills when handling adult and pediatric multi-system trauma patients. Participants will apply the principles of PHTLS in the scenario-based skill stations. Moulaged patient models are used to simulate the various trauma situations and guide the participant.
Accreditation and awards:
A successful candidate will receive a provider card and a certificate that remains valid for four years.
This Course is co-sponsored and follows the guidelines and standards set by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians
(NAEMT) in cooperation with the American College of Surgeons
