American College of Surgeons Trauma Education Programs

December 7, 2023 & January 30, 2024

Two ATLS Refresher Courses will be offered in Calgary. Many medical staff are familiar with the American College of Surgeons Advanced Trauma Life Support course, having taken it as a resident or later as a requirement for staff appointment.

It is updated every four years and includes evidence based improvements in the initial care over the first hour of trauma care, transfer of care, team building, and triage. The course is accredited as CME by the American College of Surgeons.
