This advanced practice level course focuses on the care of trauma patients during
pre-hospital, resuscitation, peri-operative, and the intensive care phases.

A strong emphasis on anatomy, pathophysiology, and a multidisciplinary approach to quality trauma care will be incorporated into the course.
Extensive reading and study time on your own is necessary for a successful completion of the state exam.

The independent nursing judgment gained from attending will greatly influence the outcome for critically ill or injured patients.
