The aim of ATLS is to teach a simple systematic approach to the management of trauma patients through interactive tutorials, skills teaching and simulated patient management scenarios. The ATLS® course was developed by the American College of Surgeons and has now been adopted in over 60 countries worldwide.
ATLS student status lapses after four years, and it is recommend that this be renewed within six months of the date of expiry. Students are no longer able to reverify on the final day of the three-day programme. They either need to take the full two-day programme again or attend a one-day reverification course. Reverification course can be taken only within six months of provider status expiry.
